The Committee notes from the Government's last report that the requirements and standards contained in the Fundamental Sanitary Rules for Work with Radioactive Substances and Other Sources of Ionising Radiation (OSP-72/80) and the Standards of Radiation Safety (NRB-76) were taken into account in the implementation of measures to ensure the safety of personnel engaged in the various types of work to eliminate the effects of the accident at the Chernobyl atomic power station.

The Committee further notes that the USSR Ministry of Health is planning to elaborate an updated edition of the Standards of Radiation Safety (NRB-76).

It hopes that the next report will contain the information requested in this observation and will indicate the progress made in the adoption of a new edition of NRB-76.
