This Law establishes legal grounds for ensuring radiation safety of the population and environment. The basic principles for ensuring radiation safety shall be: (a) rate setting – keeping radiation dosage status within established limits; (b) substantiation – prohibition of the use of sources of ionizing radiation when received dosage shall not exceed possible damage caused by additional radiation; (c) optimization – keeping the lowest possible level of radiation in the process of use of the sources of ionizing radiation; and (d) emergency optimization – emergency measures that produce more benefits than damage. The Act consists of 5 Sections divided into 27 articles: (1) general provisions; (2) state regulation in the sphere of ensuring radiation safety; (3) general requirements for ensuring radiation safety; (4) ensuring radiation safety in case of nuclear disaster; and (5) rights and duties of citizens and social organizations in relation to radiation safety.
