[en] In the paper an overview of the problems of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), as well as of the related regulatory approaches is presented. Natural isotope of uranium and thorium series, make a larger contribution in irradiation of the population, than artificial radionuclides. It is caused by the following reasons: Geological conditions of the country; Intensive development of mining and a processing industry; High population density in industrial regions of the country. The central regions of Ukraine (30-35% of all Ukrainian territory) are situated on the crystalline massif with high concentrations of natural radionuclides. Due to this fact, the main dose-forming factor (natural radioactivity) may be considerable (78%). This problem became extremely sharp in Ukraine after the accident at the Chernobyl NPP. (author)
