Determination and evaluation of the radiological situation using mobile measurements during the ground phase

Abstract
The nuclear reactor remote monitoring system of the state of Baden-Württemberg (Kernreaktor-Fernüberwachung Baden-Württemberg – KFÜ BW) is implemented according to the recently renewed “recommendations for remote monitoring of nuclear power plants”. In Baden-Württemberg, the application area of the system covers both, the surveillance of internal procedures on one hand, and the handling of incidents or accidents on the other. The following paper shows the role of the KFÜ regarding the determination and evaluation of the radiological situation in the range of off-site emergency response. Progress is reported on the measurement conception and the technical possibilities for the investigation of the radiological situation after the end of the deposition of radio nuclides (ground phase).
Kurzfassung
Die Kernreaktor-Fernüberwachung Baden-Württemberg (KFÜ BW) ist entsprechend den kürzlich novellierten Rahmenempfehlungen für die Fernüberwachung von Kernkraftwerken realisiert. Das Spektrum ihres Einsatzes deckt in Baden-Württemberg sowohl die aufsichtliche Verfolgung betrieblicher Vorgänge, als auch Störfälle oder Unfälle ab. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt die Rolle der KFÜ zur Ermittlung und Bewertung der radiologischen Lage im Bereich des anlagenexternen Notfallschutzes. Es werden Fortschritte bei der Messkonzeption und den technischen Messmöglichkeiten zur Erkundung der radiologischen Lage nach Abschluss der Deposition von Radionukliden (Bodenphase) berichtet.
