Radon indoor build-up poses a serious health threat, increasing the risk of lung cancer in those exposed. Effective limitation of the radon intake from the soil is possible only through the modern building technologies and materials use with high radon-protective characteristics in the building underground part. The ensuring radiation safety complexity is that, depending on the instantaneous soil-atmosphere-building system state, both diffusion and convection can act as the radon intake dominant mechanism, and each of these transfer mechanisms requires its own radon protection measures set. In the article, the dominance areas of each transfer mechanisms are established on the theoretical researches, and an approach to determining the radon load on the building underground shell is proposed.
