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: To improve organizational and methodological approaches to psycho-physiological support of functional reliability of Russian nuclear workers.
Results: The authors’ position on a number of topical organizational and methodological issues of psycho-physiological support of functional reliability of nuclear workers is presented.
Measures aimed at optimizing the interaction of medical organizations of the FMBA of Russia and organizations of the Rosatom State Corporation in the preparation and conduct of psychophysiological examinations are proposed. The optimal solution to this problem, according to the authors, is the development of a joint regulatory document defining the rights and obligations of both parties by the FMBA of Russia and the State Corporation. The expediency of avoiding duplication in carrying out a number of diagnostic techniques after developing a mechanism for transferring test results from medical organizations of the FMBA of Russia to organizations of the Rosatom State Corporation is shown.
According to the authors, the following issues are to be improved: a) the existing diagnostic arsenal, taking into account new technological capabilities, and having in mind the fact that some important tests are easily available on the Internet; b) the content of methodological recommendations, which should describe in detail sensorimotor and other tests, allowing for a variety of their interpretations, to ensure the invariance of their computer implementations. Such measures will increase the diagnostic value of the tests used, as well as the comparability of the results obtained using various software and hardware complexes.
Authors also propose to reconsider the role of the Scientific and Technical Council of the State Corporation in improving the functional reliability of the personnel of the industry by integrating psycho-physiological and other areas related to human resources into the general research topics. Proposed actions:
a) to create a thematic scientific and technical council on human resource management and reduction of anthropogenic risks including specialists in psycho-physiological, psychological, medical, sanitary-hygienic, ergonomic and other aspects of ensuring the functional reliability of personnel, and to elect a scientific adviser of the council;
b) to include the development plan for the direction of ensuring the functional reliability of personnel in the new edition of the “Program of Innovative Development and Technological Upgrading of the Rosatom State Corporation for the Period up to 2030”;
c) to add the direction on improving the reliability of the human factor in the Unified Industry Thematic Plan of Research and Development Work of the Rosatom State Corporation;
d) to include the most important reports related to human resource management and reduction of anthropogenic risks in the plenary sessions of the conferences “Radiation Protection and Radiation Safety in Nuclear Technologies”.
Conclusion: The above proposals are aimed at improving the organizational and methodological aspects of the psycho-physiological direction in ensuring the functional reliability of nuclear workers. According to the authors, this direction should be part of the human resource management system and the reduction of anthropogenic risks in the nuclear industry. The research part of this system should be integrated into the activities of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Rosatom State Corporation and meet the requirements of a systematic approach.
