ABSTRACT

Results: Information is provided on the developed regulatory and methodological documents including health physics and organizational requirements for the radiation safety and protection supervision in the course of work on decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear submarines, nuclear service ships and surface vessels with nuclear installations, as well as during storage of reactor compartments of decommissioned nuclear submarines and block packs of nuclear service ships. 

Conclusion: The developed documents are aimed at further improving the regulatory legal and methodological support of citizens’ rights to safe working conditions, health protection and social protection.

Key words: nuclear submarines, surface ships with nuclear installations, decommissioning, dismantling, radiation situation, normative documents
