Development of Environmental Monitoring in the Vicinity of Nuclear Energy Facilities

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The automated system ASCRO developed and adopted in the nuclear industry for monitoring radiation conditions and on-site monitoring of subsoil status is continually improving, and the Rosatom State Corporation is continually expanding the sphere of activity of these systems. In the present article, the experience gained in the implementation of on-site monitoring of subsoil status in 2017 and the principles of its integration into the complex environmental monitoring system are expounded. Data on the development and integration of information-geoenvironmental packets of nuclear industry enterprises into the complex environmental monitoring system are presented.
