The fourth and final Soviet edition of Vladimir Kozlov's definitive handbook was released in 1991, serving as the primary operational manual for radiation protection during a transformative period in nuclear safety history. Published by "Energoatomizdat," this edition incorporates the rigorous safety reassessments and updated regulatory standards (NRB-76/87 and OSP-72/87) that followed the Chernobyl disaster, making it a critical historical document of Soviet nuclear oversight.
The handbook provides an exhaustive collection of data necessary for the practical assessment of radiation hazards. It covers the physical characteristics of ionizing radiation, methods for calculating shielding, and detailed protocols for monitoring radioactive contamination in the environment and workplace. Kozlov systematically presents tables on isotope half-lives, maximum permissible concentrations, and the effectiveness of various protective materials.
A significant portion of the manual is dedicated to dosimetric instrumentation and the mathematical modeling of radiation fields. For engineers, health physicists, and historians of the nuclear industry, this work is prized for its technical density and its role in standardizing safety procedures across the USSR’s vast network of nuclear power plants, research laboratories, and civil defense units. It remains one of the most respected reference works in the field of Soviet radiobiology and technical safety.
