“Radurizatsiya” software and hardware complex and “The Good Practices” Certification Scheme as the basis of the Rospotrebnadzor monitoring and traceability system in the field of radiation biotechnologies

Absolute transparency and control are required to ensure the safety of radiation biotechnologies that change product properties. Currently, the Russian Federation has not implemented regulatory control over the activities of radiation treatment centers in terms of compliance with sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the treatment process, as well as the safety and quality of irradiated products. The purpose of the work is to scientifically substantiate and develop the basis of a national system of rationing, control and traceability in the field of radiation biotechnologies based on the analysis of modern approaches to regulating the radiation technology industry and experiments conducted to study the effects of radiation on the properties of food and agricultural products. To ensure traceability of turnover, quality and safety of food and agricultural products treated with ionizing radiation. The paper considers modern approaches to the regulation of the radiation technology industry based on state regulation, remote monitoring and conformity assessment of treatment services and irradiated products. Based on the analysis, priority types of food and agricultural products for ionizing radiation treatment, methods of identification, quality control and safety of irradiated products, and methods for determining the radiation dose absorbed by products have been established. Based on the conducted scientific research, the experimental algorithms and procedures have been developed to establish maximum and minimum radiation levels. The optimal technological modes and radiation levels have been established for a number of priority types of products. A special Radurization hardware and software complex based on modern remote control and artificial intelligence tools has been developed, as well as a system of voluntary certification of ionizing radiation treatment centers and irradiated products "Good Practices", their key role and the need for industrial implementation as the basis of the Rospotrebnadzor monitoring and traceability system in the field of radiation biotechnologies have been substantiated.
