This Montenegrin Strategy for protection against ionizing radiation, radiation safety and management of radioactive waste with an action plan aims to provide protection against ionizing radiation and radiation safety as well as safe and responsible management of radioactive waste that exists in the territory of Montenegro, as well as radioactive waste that will be created as a consequence of performing radiation activities in this area in the future. When it comes to radioactive waste management, this Strategy is in line with every adopted international principle designated for protecting people and the environment from all harmful effects of ionizing agents/radiation, including practices regarding the radioactive waste management, which means that it is in accordance with safety (IAEA radiation protection standards). Fundamental principles of protection against ionizing radiation, radiation safety and management of radioactive waste should provide: the aims for preservation and protection of life and health of current and future generations; safety and security of sources of ionizing radiation; safe and environmentally friendly management of radioactive waste; protection of the living and working environment; professional and rational use of sources of ionizing radiation; transparency and related planned public involvement.
