Abstract

Risk of potential radiation exposure within limits put in the new Radiation Safety Standards (NRB-99/2009) is discussed. A new approach to estimate safety index of potential exposure, based on ICRP recommendations (Publication 103), was designed. Estimates of the index made for the Kursk NPP are given.

Key words
Generic risk, potential exposure, approach to estimate risk, safety index of potential exposure.
