To the question of organization of state radioecological monitoring in forests contaminated radionuclide

Ensuring radiation and fire safety in forests contaminated with radionuclides, restoration of the ecological and socio-economic value of these forestscan be made based oncarrying out a special complex of protective measures. Asolutiontothisproblemcanbeachieved only by amending and supplementing the Forest Code of the Russian Federation that will be legalized this kind of activities in the form ofstateradioecological monitoring as the part of state environmental monitoring. Two main componentscan be organizationally highlighted: - radiation surveys of forest fundin order to determine and (or) clarify areas of radiation contamination of territories and to establish the appropriate regime of forestry activities; - radioecological monitoring at forest stationary sitestracking dynamics of specific activity of radionuclides within forest ecosystemsto predict the dynamics of the radiation situation in forests. In the process of forestry activitieshave a place to be two independent eventsin the field of forest and forest productsfrom radioactive contamination: - radiation control of radionuclide content in forest resources in the forest areas allocated for economic usein order to compare actual performancewith standard indicatorsand to determine the possibility of obtaining regulatory clean products; - radiation control of non-timber forest products and wild forest food resources in order to compare actual performancewith standard indicatorsfor obtaining standard-net products of secondary use...
