The course covers the most important response function, starting with the detection of conditions for Radiological emergency situations and ending with a thorough analysis of emergency situations and emergency response. It discusses in detail the mechanisms that should be created for the effective implementation of these functions.

Курс охватывает наиболее важные функции реагирования, начиная с определения условий для радиологических аварийных ситуаций и заканчивая тщательным анализом аварийных ситуаций и аварийного реагирования. В нем подробно обсуждаются механизмы, которые должны быть созданы для эффективного выполнения этих функций.
