Abstract

Study of the effects of low background radiation on biological systems is a new field in radiation biology. Due to the availability of new experimental methods, studies of the problem of adaptation to low background radiation conditions entered an even more dynamic stage in 2015–2019. Genomic stability/variability during prolonged exposure to low background radiation conditions and the positive/negative effects of the absence of natural background radiation on living organisms are the most debated issues. The data obtained by different scientific teams do not allow obtaining a universal model explaining the observed events. This report discusses currently accumulated experimental data, requirements for work under conditions of low background radiation, and prospects of cooperation work between JINR and BNO INR RAS in carrying out biological experiments under unique conditions of the low-background laboratory DULB-4900.
