Description
Summary:According to the international project Kolanet dealing with information defining the ecological problems in the Barents Euro-Arctic Region, one of the main tasks is the elaboration of the information system for quick response to radiation accidents on the Kola Peninsula and in the counties of the Northern Fennoscandia. The concept of the system includes: a radioactive monitoring net; telecommunications system; database of nuclear risk objects; and real-time prediction of the radiation situation and possible consequences using mathematical models with GIS technology. The first step in the development of this project is discussed, using the Kola NPP as an example.
