We report on the findings from the short- and long-term environmental monitoring in selected control points within the IRT-Sofia nuclear site, which is an important part of the radiation and radiological surveillance 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 experimental evidence and analyses covering the last 8 years and the overlap issues with environmental data accumulated from 1961 to 2008 are commented upon.
