RUSSIAN FEDERATION POPULATION RADIATION PROTECTION DURING THE EXPOSURE FROM NATURAL IONIZING IRRADIATION SOURCES: MODERN STATE AND DIRECTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

The questions are considered, connected with the modern state ofRussian Federationpopulation radiation protection during the exposure from ionizing irradiation sources. It is shown that the System of Radiation-Hygienic Passportization and Integrated State System for Doses Control and Registration basing on the statistic form № 4-DOS functioning for more than 15 years already led to situation when population natural exposure levels are comprehensively studied, but practical measures for their decreasing are rare in the country. Possible directions are considered for the improving of the system of population radiation protection providing during the exposure from natural ionizing irradiation sources.
