Introduction

Monitoring is occasional or
continuous tracking and
evaluation of certain
parameters
Ionizing radiation is
characterized by the fact that
after the action on the matter ,
it absorbs energy greater than
12.4 eV

The use of radionuclides is

considered to be a special type
of activity
The Republic of Serbia has
adopted the " Law on the
Protection against Ionizing
Radiation and Nuclear Safety
".

It is necessary to take account of :

1.
2.

Expected activity inventory

and radiation characteristics sources

The type and activity of radionuclides

to be discharged,
their physical and chemical forms
,roads and quantity

It is necessary to take account of :

3.

Mechanisms for the transfer of radionuclides

through the medium of the environment,
including dispersion and reconcentracion
mechanisms and their seasonal variations

Natural and artificial Environmental sources

which may affect the transfer of radiation
(vegetation , water / geology , etc.)

4.

It is necessary to take account of :

5.

Ecological characteristics of water

which are intended to absorb radiation

6.

Use of the environment for agriculture,

water and food,
Industry, settlement and recreation

It is necessary to take account of :

7.

Population density , age

Particularly critical groups

and existing
radionuclides in the environment.

8.

Special attention is paid to :

1.

Establishing the the discharge limit

limiting emissions
air and liquid substances

Special attention is paid to :

The provision of
information - necessary for
checking the system
the control and treatment of the effluents

2.

Special attention is paid to :

The provision of timely

information - representing
a warning on every deviation
which deviates
from normal operation,

3.

Special attention is paid to :

The provision of a database - on the quantity

of radionuclides that are released
into the environment,
as the basis
for modeling the radiation
levels of the environment

Emergency monitoring/Accidents
It depends of
the severity of the
accident

The strategy must

be planned

Individua

Specific objectives of monitoring

in emergency situations

Ac

Planning time period (phase)

must take into account a number of specifics

Extraordinary situations determines the

type of monitoring and sampling method

Preparations must be made for:

During a nuclear accident, it is necessary to

monitor large geographic area

Special measurement techniques are needed

for specific radionuclides

Conclusion
In order to protect us against all types of radiation, it is necessary for
local communities to solve at least one of the problems.
Thanks to the application of regulation in the fields of monitoring management
programs
we have significantly upgraded the quality of the protection system

There is no adequate protection for

the population of potential nuclear accidents
Clearly defined objectives and strategy
