MEASUREMENT OF RADIATION PARAMETERS IN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PREMISES OF THE DNIPRO HOUSING ESTATE PEREMOHA-5

Abstract

Problem statement. During the construction of housing estates on the territory of Dnipro, the authorities solved the major, at that time, challenge of providing families with their own separate housing (flats). Those days issues such as environmental and radiation safety were out of date, as a large-scale plan to improve of the life population quality was being decided. After international and national radiation safety standards were published, implemented and tested, the problem of solving for existing buildings compliance issue with the accepted requirements in the radiation safety field for buildings and structures arises. The purpose of the article − determination of the radiation and hygienic parameters actual values for housing estate residential buildings Peremoha-5 in Dnipro experimentally and comparing with the results of previous measurements. Conclusions. As a result of radiation parameters analysis for various constructional materials it is determined that in houses made of silicate bricks and aerated concrete the lowest level of radiation background was observed. The highest level of radiation background was in the panel buildings using reinforced concrete envelopes. The regulated radiation parameters values of ionizing radiation and the radiation background they create in the premises of buildings, in some buildings exceed the normative indicators. It is necessary to reduce the values of these parameters by implementing a set of anti-radiation protective measures. As a result of radiation parameters investigations the influence of construction materials on the background radiation main component in the residential buildings premises of housing estate Peremoha-5 was determined.
