Course on RODOS-based Decision Support for Off-site Emergency Management in the Later Phases of a Nuclear Accident
11 October 2004 - 15 October 2004
Germany
The course will focus on the later phases of an accident and particularly on decisions regarding relocation, agricultural counter-measures and counter-measures in urban areas, including decontamination and the management of wastes resulting from these operations. In addition to the assessment of the radiological situation, particular emphasis will be payed regarding the problems related to the radiological, economic and other consequences of intervention.
In practice sessions, the participants will discuss selected aspects from the lectures taking into account RODOS results covering a representative range of possible accident situations and typical consequences. The RODOS system will be operated by experienced RODOS staff members, therefore participants do not need to have computer skills.
Target groups are involved in emergency management and response using the RODOS system or they are generally involved in radiation protection and want to get trained in an application-oriented way on interventions in the later phases of an accident.
The following topics will be covered:,- The RODOS system and its role in emergency management and response,- Countermeasures, their benefits and disadvantages,- Exposure pathways and environmental transfer,- Monitoring, data assimilation and uncertainties,- Decision making including non-radiological aspects,- Practice-oriented training with specific scenarios,- Full-day tabletop exercise.
