Abstract:

The article characterizes the obligations imposed on the organizational units and their management by the Atomic Law Act introduced in Poland in 2020. It is the implementation of Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom..

The excessive requirements combined with highly repressive legal regulations imposed by the legislator on a wide range of various organizations located in the so-called “Radon Belt” may cause a strategic shock for these organizations in the near future. News blackout, lack of both scientific and journalistic discussion, the passivity of authorities in enforcing penalties for organizational units failing in their duties regarding measuring, informing, and reporting radiation levels, create a very dangerous scenario. It can be described as an administrative trap for many entities such as businesses, government offices, educational and cultural institutions, etc. The main intention of the authors is to raise awareness among the leadership of various organizational units about the threats arising from Directive 2013/59 Euratom, and further from the national legal acts. It also aims to stimulate scientific discussion in the field of quality management science regarding the important and dangerous phenomenon of introducing very restrictive legal regulations in an atmosphere of secrecy, or at least the absence of any information campaign.
