ABSTRACT

The article presents the analysis of the importance of appropriate information provision that is necessary to people aiming to get the correct orientation in case of contact with radiation source. The importance of information concerning this factor clarifies itself by several original characteristics (the convertibility of one kind of energy into another, open to measurement, the absence of specific radiation energy reception in organism). This fact attaches high importance to verbal information which also appears to be the only information source in that case. This phenomenon determines great demands to information quality standards. There is a number of important facts may be useful for appropriate information perception and helpful by decision-making in conditions of radiation sources presence, being analyzed in the article. The present article provides examples of the most appropriate urgent information, useful for corresponding decision-making and, at the same time, in a slightly modified form, essential for participants in these events.

Key words: ionizing radiation, medical information, perception of information, information transmission, media and information sources
