Abstract

The paper presents results of comparative analysis of the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation with the recommendations and requirements of international organizations in relation to the exposure of population and workers to natural sources of radiation. It is shown that the approaches to radiation safety related to exposure to natural sources of radiation in the Russian regulatory documents are somewhat more consistent with the provisions of the EU Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom than with the recommendations of the IAEA Basic Safety Standards. Analysis of requirements of Russian and international documents is the first step on the way to assess the possibility of implementation of recommendations of international organizations into the Russian regulatory documents and to develop the proposals on harmonization of requirements for control of the exposure of population and workers to natural sources of radiation.
