Maximum dose of gamma radiation at the surface during decontamination works corresponded to 0.75 micro-Sievert/hour. The Radon specialists also confiscated 7.5kg of fresh mushrooms at a Moscow food market. They were contaminated with cesium-137 and had 547Bq/kg activity, while the norm is 160Bq/kg.
