| Summary: | One of the environmental problems of the resort region of Caucasian Mineral Waters (CMS) is the increased exposure of the population. The main factor affecting the radiation situation in the region, and hence the exposure of the population is a natural radioactivity of the rocks. It is needed to make a scientific basis for the region of CMS for the mechanisms of radionuclide migration from rocks to other media - namely, water, air, building materials and premises. For the resorts of the region it is needed to develop a map of potential radiation (radon hazard). The development of these maps requires a large-scale measurement, revealing the laws of formation of background radiation areas, taking into account the migratory ability of radionuclides. It requires exclusion of constructions and operation of buildings, regardless of the destination, as well as all sources of water supply of the population without compliance with all the requirements of radiation safety. |
