Abstract
The principles for implementing measures for protecting nuclear and radiation hazardous objects from external perturbations are formulated. A method is proposed for assessing the effectiveness of decisions made to increase the protection of objects taking account of the prediction of possible actions and losses from protective measures taken which are inadequate to the situation.
The method takes account of the stability and protection parameters of objects and the characteristics of the means of protection (including the cost). It is suggested that the effectiveness of different variants of protective measures be assessed according to the economic benefit from implementation of these measures.
