Radiation conditions along the perimeter and near the Russian Science Center Kurchatov Institute

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The results of measurements of the dose rate from γ radiation along the perimeter, at operating gates, and near the grounds of the Russian Science Center Kurchatov Institute are presented. The computed dose isolines for actual radionuclide emissions from the exhaust stacks of the Institute’s objects are presented. The results show that the observed levels are identical to the analogous levels on average over Moscow. This shows that living next to Kurchatov Institute is no more dangerous than in any other region of Moscow.
