Abstract: This paper presents an integrated system to calculate and visualize optimal evacu-ation routes in case of a serious release of radioactivity, minimizing the exposure to radiation. The system calculates and visualizes the optimal flow as to vacate any set of nodes while min-imizing a specified cost. Amathematical model of the problem is formulated and then adapted in such a way that it can be used to solve the problem with an off-the-shelf geographic inform-ation system (). Specifically, the Barents Region is studied and a hypothetical release from
