Abstract

The paper deals with the quantitative assessment of the safety culture at facilities involved in the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Based on the method of the “internal” assessment of the safety culture, being developed in the A.I. Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Centre, Moscow, 123182, Russian Federation, the comprehensive evaluation of the safety culture has been carried out with respect to the personnel of the following facilities: the Northwest Center for Radioactive Waste Management — SevRAO (NWC SevRAO) and the Far Eastern Center for Radioactive Waste Management- DalRAO (FEC DalRAO), which are subsidiaries of the RosRAO Enterprise.
