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: Assessment of the incidence of occupational diseases (OD) of employees of enterprises and organizations of the Russian nuclear industry.
Material and methods: Work uses the information base of the Industrial Register of Persons with Occupational Diseases (ORPROFI), developed by A.I. Burnazyan FMBC of the FMBA of Russia and containing information on cases of occupational diseases of employees of enterprises and organizations serviced by healthcare institutions of the FMBA of Russia, including enterprises and organizations of the nuclear industry of Russia.
To process the results of the study, the statistical Excel software package was used, original programs were developed to calculate absolute and intensive indicators, the growth rate. The incidence OD was calculated per 10,000 employees.
Results: The assessment of the incidence of OD among employees of enterprises and organizations of the nuclear industry was carried out. The features of the structure of the registered OD of employees of enterprises and organizations of the nuclear industry, which differ from the structure of the OD of workers in other sectors of the economy, are established. An assessment of the dynamics of the incidence of OD for the period 2011–2023 was carried out.
Conclusion: In the group of employees of enterprises and organizations of the nuclear industry with registered OD for the period 2011–2023, the first rank place is occupied by persons in the age group of 50–59 years – 38.8 % (average age 54.4 ± 0.3). The proportion of people with two or more OD is 54.0 %. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue occupy the first rank in the structure of the incidence of OD (ICD 10: M00–M99.9) – 48.6 %, the second – injuries, poisoning and some other consequences of exposure to external causes (ICD 10: S00–T98) – 19.2 %, the third – malignant neoplasms (ICD 10: C00–D09.9) – 12.2 %. There was a sharp increase in the incidence of OD in 2011–2016. The dynamics of this epidemiological process of OD can be explained by the introduction of a system for correcting the accounting of employees with a diagnosed occupational disease. In the structure of harmful production factors in 2023, physical overloads and functional overstrain of individual organs and systems occupy the largest share – 53.4 %, in second place – the impact of physical factors – 40.0 %, in third place other factors – 6.7 %.
Keywords: morbidity, occupational diseases, nuclear industry, harmful production factors
