The Chernobyl accident in 1986 is one of the most large-scale radiation accidents in the world. It led to radioactive contamination of large areas in the European part of the Russian Federation and at the neighboring countries. Now, there are more than 4000 settlements with the total population of 1.5 million in the radioactively contaminated areas of the Russian Federation. The Bryansk region is the most intensely contaminated region. For example, the Krasnogorskiy district still has settlements with the level of soil contamination by cesium-137 exceeding 40 Ci/km 2 . The regions of Tula, Kaluga and Orel are also significantly affected. In addition to these four regions, there are ten more regions with the radioactively contaminated settlements. After the Chernobyl accident, the affected areas were divided into zones of radioactive contamination. The attribution of the settlements to a particular zone is determined by the level of soil contamination with 137 Cs and by a value of the average annual effective dose that could be formed in the absence of: 1) active measures for radiation protection, and 2) self-limitation in consumption of the local food products. The main regulatory document on this issue is the Federal law № 1244-1 (dated May, 15 1991) "On the social protection of the citizens who have been exposed to radiation as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant". The law extends to the territories, where, since 1991: 1) the average annual effective dose for the population exceeds 1 mSv (the value of effective dose that could be formed in the absence of active radiation protection measures and self-limitation in consumption of the local food products); 2) soil surface contamination with cesium-137 exceeds 1 Ci/km 2 . The paper presents results of calculations of the average effective doses in 2017. The purpose was to use the dose values (SGED 90 ) in zonation of contaminated territories. Therefore, the calculations have been done under the assumption that the doses were formed in the absence of active radiation protection measures and self-limitation in consumption of the local food products. The dose to population, rather than the density of radioactive contamination of soil by 137 Cs, is the most objective characteristic of the actual radiation exposure to the residents of the contaminated areas.

The Chernobyl accident in 1986 being one of the most large-scale radiation accidents in the world led to radioactive contamination of large areas in the European part of the Russian Federation and at the neighboring countries. Nowadays, there are adout 4000 settlements with the total population of more than 1.5 million in the radioactively contaminated areas of the Russian Federation. The Bryansk region is the most intensely contaminated region: thus, in the Krasnogorskiy district, there are still settlements with the level of soil contamination with cesium-137 exceeding 40 Ci/km 2 . Tula, Kaluga and Orel regions are also significantly affected. In addition to these four regions, there are ten other regions with the settlements located in the zones of radioactive contamination. After the Chernobyl accident, the affected areas have been divided into the zones of radioactive contamination. Belonging of the settlements to the one or another zone is determined by level of soil contamination with 137Cs and by value of the average annual effective dose that could be formed in the conditions of the absence of active measures of radiation protection and self-limitation with respect of the consumption of the local food products. The paper presents results of calculations of the average accumulated effective doses for the population. It is known that the most objective qualitative and quantitative index of the estimation of the actual radiation influence on the population of contaminated territories is the accumulated dose to population. In contrast to average annual effective exposure dose, which is estimated based on certain assumptions, the value of average accumulated dose is based on the doses which were actually received by inhabitants.

After the terrorist attack at theBostonMarathon, Federal and Republican executive bodies took increased security measures during the XXVII World Summer Universiade inKazan. Bodies and Organizations of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-being (Rospotrebnadzor) were participants of all preparatory activities and directly provided security of the Student Games inKazan. This report analyzes the experience of providing radiation safety by Rospotrebnadzor experts at the stage of preparation for the Universiade. So far, Rospotrebnadzor organizations had no experience of providing radiation safety of such large-scale events. Analysis of the performed work with account for both positive and negative experiences is especially important in the context of preparations for the safety providing of the Olympic Winter Games inSochiin 2014.

The results of radiation monitoring during the construction of sports and infrastructure facilities Sochi. Study analyzed the procedure for compliance with hygienic standards and additional indicators of drinking water, food, food raw material and other objects.

The paper presents analysis of radiological survey data in the Far Eastern territories of the Russian Federation performed by experts of Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-being (Rospotrebnadzor) Administrations and Federal Health Organizations "Centers of Hygiene and Epidemiology" of the Rospotrebnadzor in cooperation with the Saint-Petersburg Research Institute of Radiation Hygiene, in the time period from March to June 2011. The authors present preliminary assessment for contribution of the fallout carried by air currents from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in contamination of surveyed areas and population exposure doses.
