Emergency response in response to a radiation accident: historical discourse

Abstract

The article presents the historical discourse on the use of a «peaceful atom» by mankind, which is relevant in connection with the energy sensitivity of modern states, the prospects for the development of nuclear energy, as well as the japanese Chernobyl and emergency response in eliminating the consequences of a radiation accident that affects the development of the natural economic and economic world system. Nuclear power is closely related to the technical condition and operation of nuclear power plants, which sometimes cause manufactured emergencies with negative environmental consequences for humans, society, and the biosphere, since it is the «peaceful atom» that is a prerequisite for environmental safety for many countries and serves to achieve a high level of competitiveness of the economy.
