Exceeding radiation levels at 16 times was considered safe.

According to Roshydromet, on August 8, 2019, almost immediately after the explosion at one of the military facilities of the Russian Navy in Nyonoksa, the radiation level increased 16 times. An increase in the level of radiation was recorded at 6 control points out of 8, however, according to the arguments of the head of Atominfo, there was no danger to the population.

"The short-term excess of radiation levels recorded by Roshydromet during the explosion at a military training ground near Severodvinsk Arkhangelsk region did not constitute a danger to local residents", - reports "Tape", Referring to Alexander Uvarov.

According to Russian media, information about the increase in radiation levels in Severodvinsk was initially noted by Roshydromet.

Among other things, given the data that Rosatom employees died as a result of radiation exposure, the radiation dose they received could be 5000-8000 mSv, that is, at the epicenter of the explosion it was 30 million times the norm (0,2 μSv) .

It should be noted that given the current data, the situation in the region with the radiation background is normal.
