Studies to enhance radiation and health monitoring at legacy sites are relevant and fall in the responsibilities of FMBA of Russia, which provides medical and health-care support to employees of enterprises under the State Corporation Rosatom, as well as the population living near these enterprises. The paper reviews data of long-term radiation and health monitoring (2005-2016) at nuclear and uranium legacy sites in Russia and the Central Asia countries, the methodical guidance of which was performed by State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation - A.I. Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center. The experience gained during the research allowed us identify the actual areas for the further work: the need for a comprehensive study to assess all significant risk factors to be evaluated; unification of collection and collation of radio-ecological data; improvement of the radiation protection system, taking into account international recommendations and methodological approaches to assessing the health conditions of the population.
