Abstract

U statti navedeno rezulʹtaty doslidzhennya rivniv radiatsiynoyi bezpeky na terytoriyi zamisʹkoho kompleksu «Ekolandiya». During the period of July 2025, measurements of the dose rate of gamma radiation in the air (radiation background) were carried out in the premises where cattle were kept, in a storage area for storing roughage, a silage trench, as well as inpastures. According to the results of the research, it was found that the absorbed dose of gamma radiation in the air of the cowshed was in the range from 0.09±0.01 to 0.16±0.01 μSv/h, in the calf barn - from 0.08±0.01 to 0.14±0.02 μSv/h, warehouse for hay storage – from 0.07±0.01 to 0.11±0.01 μSv/h, silo trench – from 0.07±0.01 to 0.14±0.01 μSv/h, pasture – from 0.09±0.01 to 0.12±0.01 μSv/h, respectively. The obtained values of the absorbed dose rate of gamma radiation in the air do not exceed the permissible values according to the Radiation Safety Standards of Ukraine. According to the data of spectrometric analysis of feed (hay, silage, green mass from pastures), the absence of accumulation of cesium-137 in the test samples was established. The results of the study confirm the safety of the suburban complex "Ekolandia" from the point of view of radiation safety.
