| Summary: | Public company "Nuclear Facilities of Serbia" is the only operator of nuclear facilities and holder of licenses to perform nuclear activities in the country. By the current legislation, environmental radiation monitoring in the vicinity of nuclear facilities is performed to assess the level and control the external exposure of the population and environment to ionizing radiation due to the operation of nuclear facilities. This paper presents an overview of the representative environmental radiation monitoring results regarding radioactive contamination level and ambient gamma dose rate equivalent in air and precipitation for the year 2021. The obtained results show that there is no adverse influence on the population and environment and the radiation risk for individuals in the population is negligible. |
