In the year 1986 the Clinical Department of the Institute of Biophysics of the Ministry of Health of the USSR was the main specialized center in the country for the treatment of radiation disease. More than 300 people involved into the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident were submitted to a specialized clinical observation, and the acute radiation syndrome (ARS) was diagnosed in 115 of the patients.
