To the problem of food safety in the Armed Forces under the threat of radiation contamination
Abstract
Purpose: is devoted to the analysis of the possibilities of preventive measures that can minimize the risks of food contamination as a result of man-made disasters associated with the shelling of nuclear power plants and other critical infrastructure facilities by a terrorist state, or the use of “dirty bombs” by Russia.
Method: historical method, method of comparison.
The results of the study: it was determined that the addition of radionuclides to food intended for the Armed Forces is a time-consuming and inefficient process. Given this, the probability of its use is minimal. Radioactive contamination due to the explosion of a nuclear bomb will have a complex nature, as a result of which food decontamination in the radioactive zone will not have any effective result.
Value: Food services of the Armed Forces should know how to carry out preventive measures aimed at preventing radionuclides from entering food products in the event of a man-made disaster, as well as cleaning contaminated food.
Papertype: theoretical.
