It publishes original research articles which cover questions of radiobiology, radiation medicine, radiation safety, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine and scientific reviews. In general the journal has more than 30 headings and it is of interest for specialists working in thefields of medicine¸ radiation biology, epidemiology, medical physics and technology. Since July 01, 2008 the journal has been published by State Research Center - Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center of Federal Medical Biological Agency. The founder from 1956 to the present time is the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, and from 2008 to the present time is the Federal Medical Biological Agency.
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: The study of the redistribution of uranium during the one-time decentralized emissions.
Material and methods: Were sampled aerosol aspiration and sedimentation processes. Selected soil at a distance of 250 m from the emission points and laid soil profiles, taking into account the elementary geochemical landscapes. In a sample of uranium samples were determined standard spectrophotometric method using tributyl phosphate and arsenazo III.
Result: The average uranium content in the air since the protective buildings decentralized single peak changes from 0.40 to 1.56 Bq/m3. The estimated dose was in the range of from 2,11×10-6 to 5,91×10-5 mSv. Investigation showed fractional aerosol distribution of particles up to 2 mm is not more than 46 %. The uranium content in the five-centimeter top layer of soil is in the range of from 32 to 151 mg/kg. The content of uranium in soil profiles pledged not exceed 360 mg/kg.
Conclusion: 1. The average uranium content in the air since the protective buildings experiment varies from 0.40 to 1.84 Bq/m3. The average uranium content in the air pilot fields varies from 0.15 to 1.77 Bq/m3. The estimated dose is not more than 5,91×10-5 mSv. Up to half of aerosols deposited at a distance of 10 km from the point of a single decentralized output. Fraction of particles that determine the primary effects of exposure (ie up to 2 microns) reaches 45.7 %. 2. The uranium content in the studied soils from 6 to 15 times greater than the maximum recorded natural uranium content. Maximum rates of uranium in soils experimental field associated with the presence of peat horizons, as well as high rates of soil density. Proportion of watersoluble forms of uranium reaches 1 %, and the mobile — 91 %. 3. Uranium in the upper soil horizons superaqual and subaqueous position is concentrated in the most mobile form (exchange or mobile) associated with the salts of sodium, potassium, calcium and soluble carbonates. In soils superaqual position uranium increasingly. In soils of eluvial position associated with uranium sesquioxide. Up to 95 % of the uranium in the future is likely to be redistributed into the underlying soil horizon.
Key words: long-lived radionuclides, uranium, forms of occurrence, soil emissions
