Objective Foreseen ResultsThis proposal focuses on the following : the enhancement and customisation of the existing RODOS modules and data bases for application in East European countries; the connection of RODOS to local/regional/national meteorological and radiological information networks in Eastern Europe; and integration of the system in the emergency management arrangements in the respective countries.An important priority in the European Commission's Radiation Protection research programmes is the development of the real-time on-line decision support system RODOS for managing the health and environmental consequences of a nuclear accident. Of particular importance for the East European Institutes is the potential role of RODOS as part of a wider European Network for the exchange of radiological information, accident consequence prognoses, etc.. The existence of such a network would promote a more effective and coherent response to any future nuclear accident that might affect Europe.Various elements of decision support systems for off-site emergency management have been developed in the different East European institutes. In most cases, however, these are not compatible between countries nor with those available in the RODOS system. The existing elements will be evaluated and intercompared and extensions or modifications made where necessary to the software in RODOS. This will lead to the integration in the system of more unified and coherent methods, models and data bases that represent the state of the art in Europe. The enhancement of the RODOS and its customisation for use in Eastern Europe will be achieved by :- providing source terms for those reactor types being operated in East Europe and increasing the applicability of the system by including models for atmospheric dispersion for releases in more complex situations (eg. fire, explosions, releases with major steam content, etc);- adapting RODOS models and data bases for analyzing and predicting environmental transfer processes of radionuclides in ecosystems to the climatological, geographical, hydrological and agricultural conditions of East European countries;- customising RODOS models and data bases for simulating emergency actions and countermeasures taking account of criteria for their implementation and their feasibility and effectiveness;- evaluating the applicability of existing models and data usedto assess the radiological consequences of an accident (eg. doses, health effects, economic costs, etc) and identifying where extensions or modification are needed;- applying advanced computer techniques and software engineering methods for importing data, and for assimilating them in the analyzing modules of RODOS.- integrating and operating the RODOS system in the national emergency management arrangements, supported by training and exercises with those involved in decision making Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwarenatural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystemsnatural scienceschemical sciencesnuclear chemistryradiation chemistry Programme(s) FP4-INCO - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of cooperation with third countries and international organizations, 1994-1998 Topic(s) 01020304 - Decision support system for public and environmental protection Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH - Technik und Umwelt EU contribution No data Address 76021 Karlsruhe Germany See on map Total cost No data Participants (15) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all "FREDERIC JOLIOT CURIE" NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR RADIOBIOLOGY AND RADIOHYGIENE - NATIONAL CENTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH Hungary EU contribution No data Address 5,Anna 5 1221 BUDAPEST See on map Total cost No data 'Horia Hululbei' National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering Romania EU contribution No data Address 1,Atomistilor Street 76900 Bucuresti - Magurele See on map Total cost No data Academy of Sciences of Belarus Belarus EU contribution No data Address 220725 Minsk See on map Total cost No data Emergency Centre of Scientific Production Association Russia EU contribution No data Address 82,Lenina Str. 249020 Obninsk See on map Total cost No data INSTITUTE OF ATOMIC ENERGY Poland EU contribution No data Address Swierk 05 400 OTWOCK - SWIERK See on map Total cost No data INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION THEORY AND AUTOMATION - ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC Czechia EU contribution No data Address 4,Pod Vodarenskou Vezi 4 182 08 PRAHA 8 See on map Total cost No data INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICAL MACHINE AND SYSTEM PROBLEMS - NATI Ukraine EU contribution No data Address 42,Prospect Glushkova 42 252207 KIEV See on map Total cost No data Institute of Agricultural Radiology and Agroecology Russia EU contribution No data Address Kievskoy 249020 Obninsk See on map Total cost No data KFKI - Atomic Energy Research Institute - Hungarian Academy of Sciences Hungary EU contribution No data Address 1525 Budapest See on map Total cost No data NATIONAL RADIATION PROTECTION INSTITUTE Czechia EU contribution No data Address 48,Srobarova 48 160 00 PRAHA 6 See on map Total cost No data Nuclear Power Plants Research Institute Slovakia EU contribution No data Address 5,Okruzna 918 64 Trnava See on map Total cost No data Nuclear Safety Institute - Russian Academy of Sciences Russia EU contribution No data Address 52,Bols'haya Tul's Kaya Street 113 191 Moscow See on map Total cost No data Risø National Laboratory Denmark EU contribution No data Address 399,Frederiksborgvej 399 4000 Roskilde See on map Total cost No data The Committee for Hydrometeorology ofthe Ministry for Emergencies and Population Protection from Chernobyl o Re Belarus EU contribution No data Address 110,Skaryna Avenue 220023 Minsk See on map Total cost No data The Victoria University of Manchester United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address Oxford Road M13 9PL Manchester See on map Total cost No data
