The conceptual foundations of the multilevel information and training system "Environmental Monitoring and Fundamentals of Human Environmental Culture during Operation of Nuclear Facilities and in the Process of Daily Exposure to Radiation" have been developed. Training plans and plans for information support of different categories of the system users were created.
The first results of pilot operation of the Center for Open Engineering Education "Radiation Safety of the Population of the Russian Federation" as a complex of information, educational and consulting resources in the field of radiation safety and radiation protection are reviewed. Materials of the Center are placed in the virtual representation of the Research Institute of Applied Mechanics and Electrodynamics of the Moscow Aviation Institute (NIIPME MAI) at the Moscow Virtual University ( moscow@openet.ru ).
The main characteristics of radiation exposure of the RF population from natural and technogenic sources are considered. The main components of radiation sources are considered. The necessity of establishing the Center for Open Engineering Education "Radiation Safety of the Population of the Russian Federation" is shown. The tasks and main directions of the center's activity are formulated.
