This article discusses the possibilities of determining the risk to individuals as a result of radiation exposure, which is one of the most common and important characteristics of environmental hazard. Environmental damage with the likelihood of an event contributing to the determination of environmental risk. In this case, the risk itself shows the effect of radiation on the human body. When determining the risk, it is necessary to take into account the power of an individual dose for a certain period of time. The criteria curves considered in the article take into account stochastic and non-stochastic effects. These criteria show compliance of waste disposal methods with requirements related to specific risk levels.
