ABSTRACT

The long-standing rich history of the SRC-FMBC includes a bright page of multilateral cooperation of the Center’s specialists with international research and medical organizations of the world. In the course of such cooperation, the experience accumulated in world practice is generalized; norms, rules, regulations, practical recommendations and guidelines for assuring the safety and protection of exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation on personnel and the population are developed and improved. This article describes ways and perspectives of cooperation and collaboration with foreign partners.

Keywords: A.I. Burnazyan SRC-FMBC, international cooperation, regulation, radiation safety and protection, anniversary
