The Journal was founded in 1998 to upgrade the level of transparency in the field of state regulation of safety in atomic energy use. The Journal is an official publication of the Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service of Russia (Rostechnadzor). The Journal founder is the Scientific and Engineering Centre for Nuclear and Radiation Safety, which is the scientific and technical support organization (TSO) of Rostechnadzor.

The Nuclear and Radiation Safety Journal publishes scientific articles of the leading scientists, specialists and applicants for scientific degrees with the scientific results of analysis of the actual problems in the field of nuclear and radiation safety of nuclear facilities, including the issues related to neutronics, thermal physics, radiochemistry, hydrogeology, seismology, system analysis and others. This is the sole journal in the Russian Federation, which publishes the results of scientific support to the state safety regulatory authority in atomic energy use.

For the past 20 years, 87 issues have been published, containing more than 600 various materials, including more than 300 scientific papers belonging to the following speciality groups: 05.14.00 "Power engineering" (05.14.02 "Nuclear plants and electrical power systems", 05.14.03 "Nuclear power installations, including design") and 05.26.00 "Human activity safety" (05.26.02 "Safety in case of emergencies"; 05.26.03 "Fire and industrial safety"; 05.26.05 "Nuclear and radiation safety"; 05.26.06 "Chemical, biological and bacteriological safety").

The most important designation of the journal, which characterizes its specifics, is publication of the approved Federal Safety Regulations in the field of atomic energy use, as well as of the Safety Guides in atomic energy use and of the other regulatory legal acts. Such scientific papers are developed by the specialists of the scientific and technical support organization for safety regulation in atomic energy use, which employs, among others, the applicants for the scientific degrees. For the past 20 years, more than 150 draft Federal Safety Regulations and 225 approved regulatory legal acts of Rostechnadzor have been published.
