Abstract
The DSSNET network was established in October 2000 with the overall objective to create an effective and accepted framework for better communication and understanding between the community of institutions involved in operational off-site emergency management and the many and diverse Research and Technological Development (RTD) institutes further developing methods and tools in this area, in particular decision support systems (DSS), for making well informed and consistent judgements with respect to practical improvements of emergency response in Europe. 37 institutions from 21 countries of East and West Europe have been members of the network with about half of them responsible for operational emergency management. To stimulate the communication and feedback between the operational and the RTD community, problem-oriented emergency exercises were performed, which covered the various time phases of an accident and which extended from the near range to farther distances with frontier crossing transport of radionuclides. This paper concentrates on the five emergency exercises conducted in the frame of the project.
Kurzfassung
Das im Oktober 2000 begonnene DSSNET (Verbesserung, Erweiterung und Integration operationeller Entscheidungshilfesysteme für das nukleare Notfallschutzmanagement) hatte zum Ziel, ein effektives und anerkanntes Forum zu etablieren, das zur besseren Kommu-nikation und zum besseren Verständnis zwischen den Institutionen beiträgt, die einerseits für das operationelle Notfallschutzmanagement zuständig sind, und die andererseits Methoden und Werkzeuge für den Notfallschutz – insbesondere Entscheidungshilfesysteme – entwickeln. Hierdurch sollten begründete und konsistente Beurteilungen zu praktischen Verbesserungen des Notfallschutzes in Europa möglich werden. 37 Institutionen aus 21 Ländern in Ost- und Westeuropa mit etwa der Hälfte verantwortlich für das operationelle Notfallschutzmanagement bildeten das Netzwerk. Um die Kommunikation und die Interaktion zwischen den operationellen und F&E Institutionen zu stimulieren, wurden fünf problemorientierte Notfallschutzübungen durchgeführt, die die insgesamt verschiedenen Zeitphasen nach einem kerntechnischen Unfall abdeckten und deren Szenarien sich vom Nahbereich bis zu großen Entfernungen mit grenzüberschreitendem Transport von Radionukliden erstreckten. Der Beitrag beschreibt im Wesentlichen die fünf Notfallschutzübungen sowie die daraus resultierenden Schlussfolgerungen.
