FIELD: equipment for protecting workers from radiation of different origin. SUBSTANCE: pressure suit has device for converting radioactive radiation into electric energy, semiconductor photoelectric batteries containing cathodes, anodes and substance positioned between cathodes and anodes in contact with them. Cathodes and anodes are arranged in groups to define photoelectric batteries fixed on sleeves, user's body, trousers, stockings, shoes, shoe soles, including rubber soles, and on head portion of pressure suit. Night vision device is built in head portion of pressure suit. Glasses are made from radiation-resistant material. EFFECT: increased efficiency and improved safety of pressure suit allowing worker to perform necessary operations in places with intensive solar radiation without being irradiated. 1 dwg
