The Main Directions of Improving the Current Standards and Rules to Provide Radiation Safety. Part 1. Scale of the Problem and Ways to Solve It

Purpose: To justify the necessity to update radiation safety standards in our country and propose main directions for revising Russian regulatory framework field of safety. Material methods: This paper considers phases development regulation system Russia. It is noted that first time a full-fledged three-level was created Russia early 2000s. A generalized analysis new international documents system, which are worth using framework, presented. Results: The revision are: introduction concepts current terminology; “soft” standards, reference levels so-called “dose constraints” (it desirable give this term different name); updating principles emergency response; dose coefficients taking into account biokinetic models, extension list radionuclides pathways; special approaches internal dosimetry protection workers under management with long effective half-life clearance from human body (isotopes plutonium 90Sr); use according concept exclusion, exemption, criteria classifying various media as radioactive waste high content radionuclides; rules maintaining public during decommissioning facilities rehabilitation contaminated areas. Conclusion: For successful implementation work be done, it important combine efforts scientists practitioners who have accumulated extensive experience potential specialists makes possible carry out short time. necessary condition these works amendments Federal Law 09.01.1996 No. 3-FL «On Radiation Safety Public».
