Objective
After the Chernobyl NPP accident many data (environment, economic and social status, health, soil type characteristics, etc.) were measured and collected by various organisations in the three CIS countries which were most heavily affected by the Chernobyl accident. Most of these organisations were involved in different projects for studying the aspects and the consequences of the accident, not least in the sixteen projects (ECP1-10 and JSP1-JSP6) of the CEC-CIS collaborative programme on the Consequences of the Chernobyl Accident during the third framework programme.
In order to fully assess the consequences of a major nuclear accident, all aspects of lif e in contaminated territories has to be taken into account. Data bases on these aspects already exist and are continuously upgraded with new information, at local and governmental institutions. The Institute of Nuclear Safety IBRAE, Moscow, and Topaz Inform, Kiev, who have responsability for the data collation on behalf of their Chernobyl Ministries, established systems to bring this information together at national level.
Making use of the experience gained from these systems, the estblishment of a Centre for Information and Valorisation of European Radioactive contaminated Territories (CIVERT) in the Republics of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine aims at providing assistance to the local and national authorities in managing large contaminated areas through making better use of the information available. Additionally, the creation of CIVERT at the Environment Institute of the CEC Joint Research Centre, Ispra would proof beneficial for managing any future accident. Besides data collection and storage, CIVERT also envisages the development of a Valorisation Support System, with the objective to provide temporal and spatial statistical tools to valorise the data, and to interface the results to a gic .
In summary, CIVERT, consisting of the data management centre (DMC) and of the Valorisation Support System (VSS), aims to :
i) further enhance the current activities of data collection, wiht the aim to :
- assist the CIS authorities in better managing radioactive contaminated territories by making better use of the available information
- increase the confidence with the public and the information provided
ii) establish and maintain the DMC in order to consolidate all available data that is relevant to manage contaminated areas
iii) develope the VSS in order to :
- validate and cross-correlate the available information
- provide practical spatial statistical utilities for the end-users
iv) make these data available to :
- local and national authorities, to improve the management of contaminated areas
- scientific organisations, for further scientific use of the data
- the public, for improving reassurance in the local and national authorities.
