Automatic calculation of sites for positioning of mobile gamma probes in case of an emergency at a Bavarian nuclear power plant
-
J. Faleschini
Abstract
In the early phase of a nuclear emergency many decisions have to be made by the authorities. So it is of great support when certain measures run automatically. Additional mobile gamma probes are therefore picked up by the local fire brigade at the nuclear power plant without further ado by the authorities. The gamma probes are then positioned at sites which are calculated automatically, taking into account the momentary weather situation. The sites are printed on a map handed over to the firemen. A location of a standby area after having set up the gamma probes is also given on this map.
Kurzfassung
Besonders in der ersten Phase eines Notfalles in einem Kernkraftwerk haben die Behörden viele Entscheidungen zu treffen. Deshalb ist es nützlich, wenn bestimmte Maßnahmen automatisch ablaufen. Zusätzliche mobile Gamma-Sonden werden daher ohne weitere Veranlassung von der lokalen Feuerwehr am Kernkraftwerk abgeholt. Die Aufstellungsorte werden, abhängig von der momentanen Wettersituation, automatisch berechnet, auf einer Karte ausgedruckt und diese den Feuerwehrmännern mitgegeben. Ein Bereitstellungsraum für die Feuerwehr nach Aufstellen der Sonden wird ebenfalls angegeben.
