Abstract

Computed system ARMIR was developed with the support of the Administration of the Nuclear Weapons Complex. It allows evaluating radiation risks from occupational exposure in more than 85 % of the Corporation Rosatom staff working under individual dosimetry monitoring. Summary data on occupational risks are given in the paper. Characteristics of a group at high risk were defined. Majority of workers (88.6 % of males and 93.08 % of females) are at trivial occupational risk. The ARMIR system is based on mathematical models of radiation risk recommended by ICRP. The use of the models for evaluating radiation risks in Russian nuclear workers is justified.

Key words
Radiation risk, staff of the Corporation Rosatom, computed system ARMIR, groups at risk, mathematical risk models.
