Risk analysis using data from radioecological monitoring

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

A methodology for performing risk analysis based on data obtained from radioecological monitoring is presented. Examples of the application of risk analysis to optimization of radioecological monitoring and assessment of the total radiation effect on components of the environment are presented. The integral indicators of the effect on radioactivity of atmospheric air and surface waters are calculated according to the criterion that the negligibly small risk is not exceeded and modern data from observations for various types of radiation objects in Russia: Mayak Industrial Association; Krasnoyarsk Mining and Chemical Works; Beloyarskaya, Novovoronezh, and Smolensk nuclear power plants; and others. It is shown that under regular conditions the objects of a nuclear power complex do not have an appreciable radiation effect on the components of the environment.
