REQUIEREMENTS TO THE LIMITATION OF POPULATION EXPOSURE FROM NATURAL IONIZING SOURCES IN UTILITY CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article presents conceptually new requirements to the limitation of population exposure from natural ionizing sources in the industry conditions, introduced to the Main Sanitary Rules for Radiation Safety -99/2010 (OSPORB-99/2010) in development of requirements of the Radiation Safety Norms-99/2009 (NRB-99/2009). It is shown that introduction of these requirements is, first of all, aimed at resolution of some existing earlier serious contradictions in the management of radiation safety control and supervision for the impact from natural ionizing sources to population in the utility conditions.
