of December 30, 1997 No. 423-IG
About radiation safety of the population
This Law determines the legal basis of accident-free activities in the field of sources of radioactive radiation, protection against radiation hazard and public health care.
The basic concepts used in this Law:
radioactive material - isotopes (atoms) emitting ionizing radiation as a result of transformation of atomic nucleus without foreign (external) impact;
ionizing radiation - the radiation capable to create in substance ions of different signs as a result of interaction with the environment in case of radioactive transformations and splitting of kernel;
activity of radioactive materials - the number of the splittings arising in unit of time, characterizing the speed of nuclear splitting of radioactive material, unit - becquerel (Bq), curie (Кю);
sievert (stars) - the power unit of equivalent dose equal to the energy absorbed by 1 kg of substance in 1 second;
X-ray - is unit of dose rentgenovy and gamma-rays and is determined by quantity of the electric charges created in 1 cubic centimeter of air under normal conditions;
radioactive control - observance of the basic health regulations and regulations of radioactive safety relating to radioactive materials and other sources of ionizing radiation;
radiation safety of the population (further radiation safety) - protection of health present and future generations from harmful effects of ionizing radiation;
natural radiation background - the radiation dose which is naturally created by space radiations and natural radionuclides in the earth, water, air, other elements of the biosphere, foodstuff and also in human body;
tekhnogenno the changed radiation background - change of natural radiation background as a result of activities of the person;
admissible dose - the dose of ionizing radiation within calendar year confirming lack of probability of emergence in the future of negative effects of radiation taking into account radio sensitivity of human body and its separate bodies;
