Normative and methodical documents for radiation safety developed by the RPI

Specialists of the RPI are the authors of the main state normative documents in the field of radiation protection and nuclear safety, in particular:

• Norms of Radiation Safety of Ukraine (NRBU-97, NRBU-97/D-2000), Basic Sanitary Rules for Radiation Safety of Ukraine (OSPU-2005)
• Clearance of radioactive materials from regulatory control;
• Radiation Safety Standards for NNEGC “Energoatom”:
  • Radiation-hygienic Standards of Group I (permissible and control levels):
    • General rules for the establishment of radiation-hygienic standards of group I – 3 norms and standards of the MoHU and the NNEGC “Energoatom”;
    • permissible and control levels for all Ukrainian NPPs – 52 documents endorsed by the MoHU;
  • Organization of individual monitoring of internal and external exposure on Ukrainian NPPs – 10 standards of the NNEGC “Energoatom” and other normative documents (all of them were endorsed by the MoHU);
