The paper deals with the analysis of the basis for development of industrial environmental risk assessing methods and economic methods of environmental quality managing in Russia. A uniform conceptual approach and quantitative analytical tools have been underdeveloped yet. Modern view on this problem is seen in the framework of principle of longtime sustainable development of socio- and bio- spheres as a whole. The paper introduces last principle through using the concept of environmental and socio-economic health damage (under the constrains of restricting safety criteria and special supporting principles) as the ground for economical assessments. Taxation, funding system and insurance of the environmental pollution are main economical mechanizms for control and management of technogenic impacts on Man and Nature. A mechanism of pollution taxing is used already in Russia since 1992, but only for chemical pollution control. The presented study is aimed on evaluation the quantitative cost numbers for radionuclides releasing into the environment by normally operating industries. It is spreading economical tools over environmental radioactive contamination. The paper discusses interrelations between tax, fund and insurance systems, and presents calculations of radionuclide taxes, distribution of tax payments in the funds of special structure on example of typical national NPP. This approach is considered as theoretical basis for developing methods of environmental radioactive pollution management policy in Russia.
