Features of Ensuring Radiation Safety in the FSCCRO of FMBA of Russia

Purpose of the work is to justify the safety in the operation of radiation sources in the center of nuclear medicine. The paper reflects the advanced methods of nuclear medicine using radionuclides, used at the site of the Features of Ensuring Radiation Safety in the FSCCRO of FMBA of Russia, for the purpose of diagnosing and treating malignant neoplasms. At the same time, a necessary condition is to ensure the radiation safety of medical personnel, as well as compliance with the requirements and standards governing the safe operation of radiation hazardous facilities. The paper presents an analysis of individual effective doses of medical personnel of group A of the nuclear medicine center for the period 2020-2022, as well as the risks of stochastic effects during exposure to an average individual dose for personnel of group A. Results: Conclusion: a feature of the Features of Ensuring Radiation Safety in the FSCCRO of FMBA of Russia is a large concentration of radiation-hazardous objects on one site, which implies the fulfillment and observance of radiation safety requirements. The analysis of individual exposure doses for group A personnel indicates that the established control and permissible levels are not exceeded. At the same time, measures are proposed to optimize (reduce) the radiation load on medical personnel working with sources of ionizing radiation. The unique experience gained by the Center can be replicated when carrying out work to ensure radiation safety standards for newly built and existing medical institutions in Russia in order to provide high-tech medical care in the field of nuclear medicine.
