Abstract
The paper presents the activities of Rospotrebnadzor to ensure radiation safety in the framework of nuclear and radiation terrorism counteractions during the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia. One of the main activities of Rospotrebnadzor was to ensure radiation safety of food and drinking water. This task was solved by placing stationary radiation monitoring systems and organizing of continuous radiation monitoring of all foodstuffs and drinking water incoming to all sports facilities. In addition, selective radiation monitoring of samples of cooked food and drinking water at the catering facilities of the stadiums was organized. The second important activity was to ensure the radiation safety at the sites of mass people crowding with the use of portable equipment and/or car-borne radiological laboratories. The third activity was the identification and examination of the identified sources of ionizing radiation in case of alarm of radiation monitoring systems. The last but not the least activity was the interdepartmental cooperation, the effectiveness of which directly affects the response and resolution of issues related to emergency situations or situations that threaten radiation safety. The paper also briefly described the activities of the Saint-Petersburg Research Institute of Radiation Hygiene after Professor P.V. Ramzaev in the framework of ensuring radiation safety at the FIFA World Cup 2018.
