THE CONCEPT OF THE INFORMATION-CONTROL SYSTEM OF MARINE RADIATION-ECOLOGICAL MONITORING
Currently, a significant amount of man-made radioactive substances released into the environment is concentrated in the World's oceans, including in the Arctic seas. Radioactive contamination of water masses is associated with the consequences of nuclear tests, the dumping and disposal of radioactive waste. Along with these two factors, there is a third factor of radioactive contamination of the aquatic environment - various types of marine accidents associated with the release of radioactive substances.The report substantiates the need to create a system of marine radiation-ecological monitoring to ensure radiation safety in marine areas, including in the Arctic region. The main technical proposals for promising radiation monitoring systems, as the basic elements of the information-control system that provides hardware measurements in the places of underwater radiation-dangerous objects, to ensure the radiation-ecological safety of the Arctic region, are presented.
