Abstract
Among the many accumulated challenges, radon mitigation measures for existing buildings are not still carried out in Russia that, combined with the use of an inadequate method for indoor radon measurements, has led to stagnation and crisis of the radon regulation system. To overcome the crisis, a ranking of buildings and responsibility distribution in radon control, including theses on updating the national norms and regulations for ensuring radiation safety, as well as nine priority activities of the radon action plan are proposed in accordance with IAEA requirements.
