description The paper presents at first time in Russian the experience of decontamination of settlements located in the ‘Strict control area’ of the Bryansk region. Large scale decontamination campaign was implemented in summer 1989 by Russian Civil Defence forces jointly with the experts of the Institute of Radiation Hygiene. Radiological criteria  for  decontamination  are  presented  and  external  dosimetry  of  the  public  considered.  Recommendations for  decontamination  of  settlements  were  developed  based  on  modeling  and  experiments.  During  five  months, 93  settlements  with  population  of  90  this.  were  decontaminated.  Repeated  radiation  measurements  next  year and  afterwards  proved  that  there  was  no  radioactive  re-contamination  of  the  treated  areas.  Effectiveness  of decontamination was estimated by modeling and by individual TLD measurements conducted before and after decontamination. The results of two methods agreed well and the average effectiveness was estimated as 20%. The collective effective dose averted by the decontamination works in 1989 was estimated as 350 man-Sv.
