High production culture, constant reconstruction and modernization, use of advanced national and international operation and maintenance experience, consistent personnel and social policies have ensured the high efficiency and safety of Smolensk NPP.

The plant carries out a complex of radiation safety measures aimed at preventing excessive irradiation of the personnel and reducing the real dosage to the minimum. The measures are based on the concept of protection barriers – systems preventing spread of radio-nuclides.

The environment radiation control sub-system conducts round-the-clock monitoring of the 30-km zone with the help of sensors installed all over the area and collecting information about the radiation situation of the air, waters, soil, flora and agricultural produce consumed by the local population.

The findings of independent experts from the State Sanitary Inspection and the State Hydro-meteorological Committee say that the radiation background at Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant and in the nearby area is within norm.

Hence, Smolensk NPP is an ecologically friendly company having no significant radiation or chemical effect on the population and the environment.
