Features of Radiation Safety Control at the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Federal Scientific Clinical Center for Medical Radiology and Oncology" of the Federal Medical Biological Agency

Purpose: To assess the state of radiation safety at nuclear facilities of the FSCCRO.

Material and methods: The Federal Scientific Clinical Center for Medical Radiology and Oncology of the FMBA of Russia has three radiation-hazardous facilities on one site, which implies the need for strict compliance with all radiation safety requirements. As a part of the study, the analysis of reports based on the Safety Guidelines for the Use of Atomic Energy, was carried out in order to comply with the requirements of regulatory documents on radiation safety when performing work on the declared types of activities, taking into account the specifics of the institution’s “closed cycle” working mode. The article also presents the annual exposure doses of the category of personnel working with technogenic sources of ionizing radiation (group A) or being under the terms works in the field of their impact (group B) for the period from 2020 to 2022. The analysis of collective and mean radiation doses of the Group A personnel is done for the specified period.

Results: A three-year analysis of the state of radiation safety at the Center showed that the radiation situation at nuclear facilities meets the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation in terms of radiation parameters. There were no cases of exceeding the established control levels of personnel individual radiation doses for the period 2020-2022 as of March 3, 2023.

Conclusion: There are no deviations from the requirements of regulatory documents on radiation safety when performing work on the declared types of activities. The experience of the radiation safety service of the Center can be used when commissioning similar facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation.
