Abstract

This research seeks to achieve a main objective, which is to measure the impact of safeguards and insurances on workers in nuclear installations in accordance with the laws of nuclear activities, radiation and the environment in Egypt through achieving a set of sub-objectives, namely:
·      Learn about the problems faced by workers in nuclear installations in Egypt .
·      Determine what safeguards exist for workers in nuclear facilities in Egypt.
·      Measuring the impact of safeguards and insurances on the performance of workers in nuclear facilities in Egypt.
·      Reaching the best safeguards and insurances for workers in nuclear installations in Egypt, better if possible, and shedding light on the nature of the work of nuclear installations in Egypt.
·      Educating workers and monitoring them to adhere to all means of radiation protection and keen to use them while setting the binding procedures to achieve this.
The descriptive analytical approach was relied upon to describe the phenomenon under study, analyze its data, and clarify the relationship between its components, through a questionnaire. (200) people.
The research found:
·      There is a substantial, statistically significant relationship to guarantees, insurances, and the performance of workers in nuclear facilities in accordance with the laws of nuclear, radiological and environmental activities in Egypt.
·      Nuclear agencies adopted a system of pre-prepared plans to prevent disasters and how to manage the crisis.
·      Work to develop the legal rules and laws for the compensation of workers in the field of peaceful uses.
·      Lack of attention to professional and legal awareness of the tasks of workers within the Atomic Energy Authority, and the need to update laws to suit the special nature of nuclear activities.
·      A decrease in the level of knowledge of workers in the radiation field, which increases human errors and the occurrence of accidents.
Among the most important recommendations:
·      Work on more awareness of environmental awareness and its relationship to their work and its impact on reducing the incidence of radiation accidents.
·      The need to increase training of workers in radiological systems, and periodic follow-up by continuous examination of workers within the radiological field from psychological aspects.
·      The necessity of paying attention to the nuclear field in the Arab countries and their entry into the nuclear club.
