Implementation of decision support systems in Austria
-
G. Fritsch
Abstract
According to the Austrian Radiation Protection Act, decision support systems have to be implemented and operated in Austria. Recommendations on early counter measures in case of a radiological emergency are based on the results of these decision support systems and on measurements of the environmental monitoring. The following article gives an overview on the different decision support systems operated in Austria and first experiences gained through their application in international exercises and projects.
Kurzfassung
Basierend auf den Vorgaben des österreichischen Strahlenschutzgesetzes wurden in Österreich Entscheidungshilfesysteme implementiert. Neben der Umweltüberwachung bilden die Ergebnisse der Entscheidungshilfesysteme eine wichtige Grundlage für die Empfehlungen von Erstmaßnahmen zum Schutz der Bevölkerung bei radiologischen Notfällen. Im Folgenden werden die Entscheidungshilfesysteme im Überblick dargestellt. Erste Erfahrungen bei ihrem Einsatz in internationalen Übungen und Projekten werden zusammengefasst.
