This study examines the formation of the nuclear industry in the Urals from the perspective of radiation safety, identifies objective and subjective factors that led to problems in the field of radiation protection of nuclear facility personnel in the process of developing nuclear production, an assessment of the level and extent of radiation exposure to operating personnel. The author notes that the creation of the domestic nuclear industry took place in extremely difficult conditions of the post-war period and was fraught with many difficulties, especially at the initial stage of the formation of the nuclear industrial complex. During the years of commissioning and development of the first nuclear facilities, first of all, the industry pioneer the Mayak chemical plant, production personnel had to work under conditions of increased radioactive radiation. The experimental nature of plutonium production in the Urals, the novelty of the problem, the miscalculations and mistakes of designers and scientists, the extremely small amount of knowledge about the effects of radiation on a living organism, the secrecy regime and a number of other reasons led to the emergence of an emergency radiation situation at all main production facilities of the chemical plant, which entailed a significant re-irradiation of nuclear facility personnel. However, at that time, the problems of radiation protection of personnel did not have priority for the country's top political leadership. The main thing was to get plutonium for the first Soviet atomic bomb in the shortest possible time, regardless of the cost.

Psychophysiological Examination

The link between the health level of an employee and his professional reliability is currently obvious and does not require additional proof. The implementation of measures aimed at reducing the risks of developing emergency situations due to the fault of the human factor at nuclear facilities is an important element of the radiation protection system. In order to achieve the above goals of the organization in accordance with Federal Law No. 170-FZ of 21.11.1995, the performance of certain types of work in the field of atomic energy use requires special permits from Rostechnadzor. A prerequisite for obtaining such a permit for a specialist is the absence of psychophysiological contraindications based on the results of a psychophysiological examination. In this study, the analysis of the results of psychophysiological examinations (hereinafter referred to as PPhE) of employees of atomic energy facilities, carried out by specialists of the A.I. Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Centre in 2020.

Data Tables

The optimization database of radiation protection was designed on nuclear facilities maintenance with SQL Server 2008 in this paper. The database includes four modules, namely system login module, statistical data module, daily module and optimization module. Twenty-three data tables were designed, which could store a mass of data in orderly. The optimization database of radiation protection on nuclear facilities maintenance could store the original monitoring data such as plant radiation levels measurement figure on nuclear facilities for maintenance and maintenance daily. This database also combines with the actual demand in the engineering project to statistics and analysis the data.

Plutonium Production

The subject of this research is the process of organizing dosimetric service on the example of the Ural nuclear complex, primarily, the most powerful plutonium plant, the pioneer of the domestic nuclear industry – “Mayak” chemical plant in the 1945 – 1960. In the course of development of complex and hazardous for people and nature nuclear technologies, the problems of radiation protection of personnel at the first nuclear facilities became urgent, as most employees have been exposed to radiation. This required a set of emergency measures to create of safe working conditions and organize dosimetric control of nuclear energy workers. Based on the declassified archival documents, a substantial part of which is being introduced into the scientific discourse for the first time, as well as the reminiscences of the Soviet nuclear project participants, the article describes the peculiarities of formation of the first domestic service of industrial dosimetry, and provides periodization of this process. This defines the scientific novelty of the research. The use of historical and genetic method allowed outlining the prerequisites for the creation of the service of dosimetric control of the nuclear energy workers, its conditionality by the specificity of implementation of the Soviet uranium project, and a range of attendant problems. The method of historical periodization determined the key stages in organizing the dosimetric service in the context of establishment of the nuclear industrial complex. The historical-retrospective method allowed assessing the results of the activity of the scholars, leadership of the chemical plant “Mayak”, experts of dosimetric service aimed at solution of the issues related to radiation protection from the standpoint of time distance. The conclusion is made that the first domestic dosimetric service formed during the difficult period of the development of plutonium production in the Ural Region and committed work of its employees considerably contributed to ensuring safety of working conditions and preserving health and lives of thousands of the participants of the crucial for the country nuclear project
