Research activities
Research activities at RREPL are directed towards getting new information on (a) the
features of the formation of radiation ecological situation, (b) the spectral and dose-forming
characteristics of ionizing radiation, necessary to determine or specify the level of radiation
dosimetric control, and, also, (c) the development and improvement of the techniques and
equipment of radioecological monitoring and their application for research purposes in
different areas. With that said, the main directions of research activities at RREPL are
the following:
- Computer simulation of passage of radiation through matter;
- Calculation, building and optimization of radiation shielding;
- Study of the effect of ionizing radiation on living organisms;
- Creation of biological models of technogenic, and, in particular, radiation accidents;
- Testing and implementation of techniques of radioecological monitoring, including biomonitoring, of a locality;
- Ionizing radiation spectrometry.
The results of our research can be found in a series of scientific papers.
The most important research and expert work done at RREPL:
The work related to the accident at the Chernobyl PP:
