The work actualizes the need for regional authorities to be ready to respond to possible radiological emergencies due to the ever-expanding use of radiation sources in various fields of activity (besides nuclear reactors) to ensure the safety of sustainable development of cities, territories and regions taking into account the human factor. Described are the developed routing optimization algorithms using mathematical modelling methods to minimize the radiological impact on emergency formations personnel while eliminating possible radiological emergencies. Presented are the results of computational experiments to assess the reduction of personnel exposure during route optimization of work in radiation-hazardous conditions. The recommendations on the use of the developed algorithms during the operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities are formulated.
