Abstract

Currently, charged particle accelerators are used not only as a tool for basic research, but they are also becoming increasingly common in industry and medicine. In Russia in the coming years it is planned to create 3 centers of proton and ion therapy. At the same time, the instrumental, methodological, metrological and regulatory support of radiation monitoring does not currently correspond to the energy range of the generated radiation. The paper analyzes the compliance of existing regulatory and advisory documents with the goals of ensuring radiation safety during proton therapy.
