Summary: | In an incident, the operational control staff needs a rapid general view of the radiological situation in the vicinity of the emission source which is suitable for decision support. Because the measuring team cannot provide sufficient measurements immediately, model calculations based on the available information about the course of the accident are additionally required. Such calculations do not only serve to create an overview of the current situation but can also provide prognoses for several hours. For this purpose, a software system for environmental impact forecasting was developed at Research Centre Jülich, which calculates time-integrated doses as well as ambient gamma dose rates and activity values. The latter can be directly compared with values measured during the incident and consequently can be used to assess the model assumptions. |
