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 sy...

This article presents the results of studies content natural (228Ra, 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, 210Po, 210Pb, 238U) and technogenic (137Cs, 90Sr) radionuclides in drinking water from centralized (wells) decentralized supply sources observation area Belarusian NPP, performed 2016 to 2020 within framework radiation hygienic monitoring at stage construction NPP.

Several groups are developing ultra-miniature x-ray machines for clinical use in radiation therapy. Current systems are for interstitial radiosurgery and for intravascular insertion for irradiation to prevent re-stenosis. Typical generating voltages are low, in the 20 to 40 kV range. It is well established that the biological effectiveness of such low-energy photons is large compared with highe...

This paper describes two Si micromachined structures for sensing beta-particles. The basic device (the micro-detector) includes a square silicon cathode surrounded by a concentric anode, and is formed by stacks of glass and Si wafers. Incident beta-particles ionize the gas encapsulated between the electrodes, resulting in an avalanche current pulse or ‘count’. It is shown experimentally that de...

background and objective: the most common intravascular brachytherapy sources include 32p, 188re, 106rh and 90sr/90y. in this research, skin absorbed dose for different covering materials in dealing with these sources were evaluated and the best covering material for skin protection and reduction of absorbed dose by radiation staff was recognized and recommended. method: four materials includin...

Dynamic transfer of radionuclides to fish was studied in a series experiments under field condition two lakes within the Chernobyl exclusion zone during 2016–2020. “Clean” common rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) and silver Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) were transported contaminated Glubokoye Lake kept cages several months exposure, while “clean” Starukha Lake. Radiocaesium (137Cs) radiost...
