Abstract

New "dose matrix" approach used for optimization of radiation protection of a personnel is examined. Values of radiation risks calculated for different occupational radiation exposure scenarios are given. Potential enhanced risk group among workers of the Industrial Association Mayak, who are under permanent dosimetry monitoring, is formed on the basis of dosimetric information and existing standards of radiation protection.

Key words
Technological platform of radiation protection, "dose matrix", radiation risk among workers of the Industrial Association Mayak.
