Examination of Radiation Situation at the Nuclear Legacy Sites in the Russian Far East
Intensive management of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and radioactive waste (RW) in the Far-Eastern Russia involves increasing ecological pressure on areas and settlements located near the Far-Eastern Center «DalRAO» (FEC «DalRAO» facility). In order to assure radiation safety and protection during routine SNF and RW management and in the course of remediation of contaminated areas, optimization of the current frame of radiation and hygienic monitoring is required. Such optimization should be aimed at implementation of comprehensive dynamic control of the radiation situation parameters and doses to the public living at the areas nearby the facility. To solve this problem, one needs a significant amount offulland fairly structured informationon the nature of the radiation situation generation, potential pathways of the manmade contamination of the surrounding areas, and its impact on the public living at the areas nearby the facility. This paper includes the results of the field radiation survey at FEC «DalRAO» facility.
