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
