Abstract

In Ukraine, starting from 2014, the actual problem of domestic terrorism has become particularly acute. The main reason for its existence is due to separatism and uncontrolled trafficking of weapons and mass destruction from the occupied territories, and emergency situations that may arise as a result of the use of chemical weapons of mass destruction, biological agents or radioactive substances by terrorists, the scale of the consequences can reach the Chernobyl disaster, therefore the problem of prevention incidents involving chemical, biological, radioactive substances or nuclear materials the corrupt nature of today for Ukraine in particular and for the world as a whole is extremely relevant, and its decision requires detailed analysis and characterization of such dangers. The paper analyzes studies on the prevention of hazards associated with chemical, biological, radiation or nuclear incidents. The paper deals with the classification of incidents of a terrorist nature connected with the application of chemical, biological, radiationhazardous or nuclear materials and means for the implementation of emergency situations. As a result of the study, it was established that the problem of preventing and minimizing the consequences of emergencies involving chemical, biological, radiation or nuclear incidents of a terrorist nature is today relevant, and its solution is impossible without the development and application of a preventive set of organizational and technical measures that should include a number of components:  scientific potential for solving expected and predictable tasks;  high-precision and operational means of indicating and controlling CBRN contamination;  well-trained specialists;  development of methods for carrying out work in the context of CBRN contamination;  effective management of radiation, chemical and biological protection of the population and territories;  material resources and special equipment designed (targeted) for the corresponding purposes;  teaching the population the basics of radiation, chemical and biological protection and the rules of conduct in the course of terrorist acts.
