Emergency exercises conducted by the BMU

Abstract
According to the Precautionary Radiation Protection Act, responsibility for crisis management in the case of events which do not pose an imminent danger lies with the Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMU). To fulfil this obligation, technical as well as organisational arrangements are required, and the BMU staff has to be made familiar with the relevant tasks. To accomplish this, suitable exercises are essential. In recent years exercise series have been initiated by international organisations and by the EU, which deal with practical experience in managing urgent radiological information exchange and crisis management according to international agreements. They cover both the early phase of nuclear accidents and the specific requirements of the late phase.
Kurzfassung
Mit der Verabschiedung des Strahlenschutzvorsorgegesetzes wurde dem BMU die Zuständigkeit für das Krisenmanagement bei Ereignissen unterhalb der Gefahrenschwelle zugewiesenen. Dadurch entstand die Notwendigkeit, hierfür sowohl die entsprechenden technischen und fachlichen Vorkehrungen zu treffen als auch das Personal im BMU mit dieser Aufgabe vertraut zu machen. Hierzu sind Übungen notwendig. In den vergangenen Jahren sind von internationalen Organisationen und der EU Übungsreihen initiiert worden, die neben der Übung im Umgang mit den einschlägigen Schnellinformationsabkommen insbesondere auch das Krisenmanagement hinsichtlich des internationalen Informationsaustausches zum Inhalt haben. Dabei werden sowohl die Frühphase nach kerntechnischen Unfällen als auch die besonderen Anforderungen an eine Spätphase geübt.
