Abstract
The objective of the study was to assess a relative impact of nuclear industry and power generation on natural resources (consumption and detriment) and environmental pollution in the Russian Federation. Both kinds of impact – consumption or detriment of resources and contamination – were considered as general ecological damage. The general aim was to provide rationale for the sound strategy and priorities in addressing protective measures for resources and the environment at the national and regional governance levels. Industry in total, atomic and fossil-fuel power production, motor transport, housing and communal services were taken into consideration as principal sectors of the economy, causing detriment of resources and contamination of the environment.
