SUMMÀRY:
The article contains analytical review for the requirements of international radiation protection standards regarding preparedness and response for radiation accidents.
Objective of this article is analyzing international requirements and recommendations for public exposure in the context of radiation emergency situation
The requirements for emergency preparedness and emergency response for EU member countries have been analyzed. The article includes the main objectives for organizations that carry out work to emergency preparedness and emergency response of radiation accidents.
We have conducted preliminary analysis for Ukrainian existing regulatory documents to this issue. It has been established that the current legal framework does not meet current requirements for emergency preparedness and response.
