We report on the findings from the radon monitoring in selected points of the IRT-Sofia nuclear site, which is an important part of radiation surveillance activities during the operation and maintenance of the facilities at the Nuclear Scientific Experimental and Educational Centre (NSEEC) of the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy. Consideration is given to the evidence prior and during the dismantling activities related to the IRT research reactor refurbishment project and after their accomplishment.
