Development of recommendations for improving the radiation monitoring system of Ukraine

Abstract The effective functioning of the radiation monitoring network is an all-important task for all countries worldwide because the health of personnel working at radiation-hazardous facilities and the population living in the affected areas depend on it. A critical analysis of the functioning of radiation monitoring systems of various countries worldwide (Ukraine, United States of America, France, Sweden, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, and China) was valid and showed their advantages and disadvantages. Criteria for displaying data on the electronic map about the state of radiation pollution and criteria for reports on the functioning of the radiation monitoring network have been determined. To improve the functioning of the radiation monitoring system of Ukraine, some recommendations for their improvement have been provided.
