Assessment of the radiation and environmental impact on environmental objects according to the monitoring of the radiation situation. Recommendations

Automatic translation: Currently, significant international efforts are being made to ensure the radiation safety of the environment, along with the priority provision of the radiation safety of the population [1] - [4]. The new international basic safety standards [1], which are the basic document for updating and revising national radiation safety standards, formulate the principle of protecting current and future generations and the environment from radiation risks, as well as demanding the need to confirm (and not a hypothetical assumption) about protection of the environment from the effects of radioactive contamination. An important means of monitoring safety in the use of nuclear energy is monitoring the radiation situation, which is understood as a system of regular observations of the content of radionuclides in the components of the natural environment and other parameters of the radiation situation in order to timely identify and predict consequences undesirable for humans and ecosystems. State monitoring of the radiation situation on the territory of the Russian Federation is organized and carried out by Roshydromet together with other federal executive bodies in accordance with their competence.
