Source term assessment as a basis for protective measures for the population in case of a nuclear accident in a nuclear power plant with radiological consequences

N. Zander
Abstract
The reliability of the evaluation of the radiological situation in the pre-release phase of a nuclear accident strongly depends on the quality of the source term estimation. Input data for the decision support system RODOS, such as time, composition, extent, and duration of a possible release of radioactive substances (source term) serve as a basis for the assessment of possible radiological consequences in the vicinity of a plant. With the collaboration of BfS and GRS a source term estimation tool was tested at a reference plant in order to provide data for RODOS.
Kurzfassung
Die Zuverlässigkeit der Lagebewertung in der Vorfreisetzungsphase hängt von der Qualität der Quelltermabschätzung ab. Als Eingangsdaten für das Entscheidungshilfesystem RODOS bilden solche Daten wie Zeitpunkt, Zusammensetzung, Ausmaß und Dauer einer möglichen Freisetzung radioaktiver Stoffe (Quellterm) eine Grundlage für die Abschätzung möglicher radiologischer Konsequenzen in der Umgebung der Anlage. Im Rahmen eines BMU/BfS-Vorhabens mit der GRS mbH wurde ein Quelltermabschätzungsmodul als Eingabedatenlieferant für RODOS am Beispiel einer Referenzanlage getestet.
