Enhancing Radiation Safety: IAEA Signs Two Practical Arrangements with Russian Regulatory Authorities

The IAEA will cooperate with Russian authorities in the enhancement of the country’s national radiation safety standards and in the implementation of international safety standards as a result of two new agreements signed last week in Moscow.

“These agreements establish a cooperation framework to strengthen coordination for the application of radiation safety and monitoring programmes in Russia,” said Juan Carlos Lentijo, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security. Radiation and nuclear techniques are increasingly used in medicine, industry, agriculture, energy and other scientific and technological fields.

Signed by Juan Carlos Lentijo, Anna Popova, Head of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being and Vladimir Uyba, Head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency on Monday 18 July, the Practical Arrangements will commence a process whereby concrete actions to achieve higher standards of radiation safety across all levels in the nuclear field will be implemented.

The two new Practical Arrangements complement those in the area of occupational radiation safety concluded between the IAEA and ROSATOM, the State Corporation on the Atomic Energy, in 2015. “With the signing of latest Practical Arrangements, the IAEA has completed procedural formalities to establish cooperation with the prime radiation regulatory authorities of Russia,” said Miroslav Pinak, Head of the IAEA Radiation Safety and Monitoring Section.

Eight projects under the IAEA-Russia Practical Arrangements: An overview

Exposures in medical diagnostic imaging

The IAEA will cooperate in the development and revision of the nation-specific referral guidelines for the relevant national medical professional bodies for justification of medical diagnostic imaging in Russia to establish a harmonized methodology for guidelines and safety standards to be implemented. The collaboration will include training and awareness building for health professionals and regulatory authorities on the justification of diagnostic imaging examination for patients.

Criteria for control of radionuclide concentrations in foodstuff and drinking water

The IAEA will cooperate in the development and the revision of national standards for maximum permissible radionuclide concentrations in foodstuff and drinking water in existing (post-accident) exposure situations.

Radiation protection of the public exposed to natural radiation sources (radon)

Russia’s regulatory body will obtain evidence-based information to develop a national radon programme to be harmonised with international recognised norms. This includes the study of indoor radon exposure, strengthening the national health care system, improving radiation risks measures with swifter response systems and transparent communication with the public.

Application of safety standards for controlling exposures of workers and public to naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM)

Russia will bring its NORM safety standards in line with those of the IAEA, including strengthening the safety mechanism for workers exposed to radioactive aerosols that emit alpha particles.

Study of cancer incidence among the population of the East-Urals

Russia and the IAEA will jointly conduct risk assessment for various types of cancer such as leukaemia among the population living on contaminated sites and exposed to medium and low radiation doses. The objective of this project is to develop protective measures and harmonise them with international safety standards.

Remediation of nuclear legacy sites

The IAEA and Russian regulatory authorities will jointly establish reference levels of annual doses and derived levels of radiation parameters in existing exposure situations for populations living in contaminated sites to protect the public. These measures will further enhance radiation protection management processes.

Intake assessment of radioactive gas-aerosol mixtures

Under this project, Russia – with cooperation from the IAEA, will design a device for modelling aerosol deposition in human respiratory tracts to understand the particle-size distribution analysis and measurement of volume activity of gas and aerosol fraction of radioactive gas-aerosol mixtures. These preventive measures, by checking intake levels of people, will help protect workers and the public from undue exposure to radiation.
