- Abstract
A methodology for determining the effect of radiation on the environment and methods for estimating the irradiation dose and environmental risk to objects of the biota are presented. An example of using this methodology for the cooling reservoir at the Leningradskaya NPP is given. The irradiation dose rate calculated for representative objects of the biota in the cooling reservoir of the Leningradskaya NPP using data from monitoring is 5.8·10-2.2·10 Gy/h and the environmental risk for biota does not exceed 3·10. Thus, under regular operating conditions the emissions and discharges of radioactive substances from NPP satisfy the criterion for preserving a favorable environment.
