Repin Victor S.
Dr.Sci.Biol.
Born in 1946, in 1968 graduated from the evening department of the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute named after V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin) with a certificate of electrophysicist.
In 1965 started to work for the Leningrad Institute of Radiation Hygiene and since 1965 till 1988 worked first as a dose monitoring technician, then as an engineer-physicist, junior researcher and senior researcher.
In 1982 he defended the dissertation thesis “Development of radiation protection monitoring methods at work with plutonium (using complexons)” and received a scientific degree of Cand.Tech.Sci. in profession 05.26.01 - Safety precautions and the fire-prevention equipment. In 1986 he received the academic status of “Senior Researcher”.
In 1986 together with the other institute employees Repin V.S. took part in liquidation of Chernobyl NPP accident consequences. He is the liquidator of Chernobyl NPP accident. He was awarded with the Badge of Honor Order.
In 1988 he was invited (via transfer) to work in Kiev (Ukraine) into the newly formed All-Union Scientific Center of Radiation Medicine and occupied the position of the head of laboratory of indirect and computational dosimetry methods.
In 1995 he defended the dissertation "Radiation-hygienic value of irradiation sources and doses for the population of 30 km zone after Chernobyl NPP accident (reconstruction issues, risk assessment)" and received a scientific degree of Dr.Sci.Biol. in profession "Hygiene".
While working in Ukraine he prepared 5 candidates of science. In 1996 Ukrainian State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles gave Repin V.S. the rank of Professor in profession "Hygiene".
Between 1994 and 1999 Repin V.S. was member of the ICRP 2nd committee working group as a member-correspondent in the section of biokinetic models of internal irradiation.
In 2001 Repin V.S. decided to return back to the Saint-Petersburg Research Institute of Radiation Hygiene and was accepted as a chief researcher.
Since 2007 till 2010 he was the Deputy Director on Science, and since 2011 till 2015 he is the Head of Health Department and the Head of Ecology Laboratory;
At different periods the main fields of Repin V.S. scientific research were:
- Development of internal irradiation indirect dosimetry methods;
- Development of computational methods of internal irradiation dosimetry;
- Retrospective methods development for assessment of external and internal irradiation doses in population evacuated from the 30 km zone after Chernobyl NPP accident;
- Assessment of hot particles in forming of lungs irradiation doses after Chernobyl NPP accident;
- Radiation and hygienic description of territories at peaceful nuclear explosions sites and standard documents development for population radiation protection;
- Improvement of the Unified System of Individual Dose Control (USIDC);
- Introduction of GIS-technologies in the analysis of radiation conditions at emergency contamination of territories;
- Development of radiation risk assessment methods for different irradiation situations;
- Radiation and hygienic description of environment factors.
He participated in the development of SanPiN of 2.6.1.2523-09 “Norms of radiation safety (NRS-99/2009)” and SR 2.6.1.2612-1 “Main sanitary rules of radiation safety (MSRRS-99/2010)”, and other standard methodical documents in the field of radiation protection, he is the author of over 150 published works.
He is associate editor of “Radiation hygiene” journal, chairman of ionizing radiation section of Rospotrebnadzor laboratory council.
For achievements in radiation hygiene development he was awarded with a commemorative Professor P.V. Ramzaev medal.
