Members of the editorial board are scientists specializing in the field of radiation biology and medicine, radiation protection, radiation epidemiology, radiation oncology, radiation diagnostics and therapy, nuclear medicine and medical physics. The editorial board consists of academicians (members of the Russian Academy of Science (RAS)), the full member of Academy of Medical Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, corresponding members of the RAS, Doctors of Medicine, professor, candidates and doctors of biological, physical mathematics and engineering sciences. The editorial board is constantly replenished by experts who work in the CIS and foreign countries.
Six issues of the journal are published per year, the volume is 13.5 conventional printed sheets, 88 printer’s sheets, 1.000 copies. The journal has an identical full-text electronic version, which, simultaneously with the printed version and color drawings, is posted on the sites of the Scientific Electronic Library (SEL) and the journal's website. The journal is distributed through the Rospechat Agency under the contract № 7407 of June 16, 2006, through individual buyers and commercial structures. The publication of articles is free.
The journal is included in the List of Russian Reviewed Scientific Journals of the Higher Attestation Commission. Since 2008 the journal has been available on the Internet and indexed in the RISC database which is placed on Web of Science. Since February 2nd, 2018, the journal "Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety" has been indexed in the SCOPUS abstract and citation database.
Brief electronic versions of the Journal have been publicly available since 2005 on the website of the Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety Journal: http://www.medradiol.ru. Since 2011, all issues of the journal as a whole are publicly available, and since 2016 - full-text versions of scientific articles. Since 2005, subscribers can purchase full versions of other articles of any issue only through the National Electronic Library. The editor of the Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety Journal in accordance with the National Electronic Library agreement has been providing the Library with all its production since 2005 until now.
The main working language of the journal is Russian, an additional language is English, which is used to write titles of articles, information about authors, annotations, key words, a list of literature.
Since 2017 the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety has switched to digital identification of publications, assigning to each article the identifier of the digital object (DOI), which greatly accelerated the search for the location of the article on the Internet. In future it is planned to publish the English-language version of the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety for its development. In order to obtain information about the publication activity of the journal in March 2015, a counter of readers' references to the materials posted on the site from 2005 to the present which is placed on the journal's website. During 2015 - 2016 years on average there were no more than 100-170 handlings per day. Publication of a number of articles, as well as electronic versions of profile monographs and collections in the public domain, dramatically increased the number of handlings to the journal's website to 500 - 800 per day, and the total number of visits to the site at the end of 2017 was more than 230.000.
The two-year impact factor of RISC, according to data for 2017, was 0.439, taking into account citation from all sources - 0.570, and the five-year impact factor of RISC - 0.352.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: Improving the methodology of personnel protection management, taking into account the proposed new radiation-hygienic, methodological and organizational measures aimed at ensuring the protection of personnel of radiation-hazardous facilities.
Material and methods: The article provides a comparative analysis of the main management measures to solve the problem of ensuring radiation safety of personnel of radiation-hazardous facilities and new solutions developed in the period 2018–2024.
Results: Based on previous research conducted by specialists of A.I. Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center for the study of working conditions of personnel of nuclear energy facilities, a set of basic organizational and technical measures aimed at regulating radiation safety and personnel protection management has been developed, including: organization and conduct of radiation monitoring; forecasting staff exposure doses; selection of personnel for performing radiation-hazardous work, including emergency recovery work; planning of measures to implement the principle of optimizing radiation protection; development and establishment of control levels of exposure to radiation factors; organization of training and training of personnel; continuous improvement of the level of industrial safety culture. However, the personnel protection management system requires constant improvement in accordance with the changing parameters of the production environment, modern technologies, working conditions and staff health indicators. First of all, these changes affected the procedures for establishing control levels of radiation conditions and radiation doses for personnel; determining the list of persons belonging to groups A and B personnel at various facilities of the Rosatom State Corporation and selecting personnel with a sufficient reserve of individual doses to perform radiation-hazardous work in conditions of increased planned exposure.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the conducted research, it is recommended to supplement the set of measures implemented to solve the problem of radiation safety management (protection) of personnel with improved methods for selecting personnel from emergency rescue units, establishing a list of persons belonging to groups A and B personnel, and establishing control levels of radiation doses and radiation environment parameters.
Keywords: radiation protection management, control level, increased planned exposure of personnel, radiation facility
