LEGISLATIVE REGULATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN THE RADIOACTIVE-CONTAMINATED TERRITORY OF THE FORMER URANIUM PRODUCTION

Problem statement. In connection with the conduct of hostilities in the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region and in other territories of Ukraine, the enterprises of the nuclear fuel complex are constantly faced with environmental dangers that can bring shelling and bombing. Along with this, there is the possibility of carrying out terrorist acts at radiation-hazardous facilities or at energy facilities of Ukraine. In connection with the fact that the industrial sites of the former uranium production of the “PCH” industrial complex are located quite close to the line of combat, this leads to an increase in the dangers and risks of an environmental accident with the release of radioactive substances. The purpose of the article is to analyze the existing regulatory and legal acts that ensure stable regulatory, organizational and technological functioning of such radiation-hazardous facilities as industrial sites and separate tailings storage facilities (sludge impoundments) using the example of the former uranium production of the "PCH" industrial complex. Determine the possibility of regulatory and legal application of express methods of registration of radiation pollution by the method of remote data collection and mathematical modeling in radiation-contaminated territories, if there is a man-made or military emergency. Conclusion. During the analysis of threats to radiation-hazardous objects located in the Dnipropetrovsk region, it was determined that the main threat is man-made industrial or military accidents at RНO with the release of radioactive substances into the atmosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. Since the beginning of the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the enemy has captured two nuclear plants: the Chornobyl nuclear power plant in the Kyiv region and the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in the Zaporizhia region. That is why it is necessary to determine what actions need to be taken in order to fulfill the requirements of regulatory and legal documents and acts of the state in the conditions of constant threats and dangers in the conditions of military aggression. In accordance with the actions, it is also necessary to determine and calculate the environmental consequences of a possible man-made accident or military shelling in the conditions of an operating enterprise that performs security, physical protection and radiation monitoring of the RНO.
