The EUROfusion Safety and Environmental Work Package (WPSAE) has the scope to progress safety studies for future EU DEMO reactor. A Generic Site Report (GSSR) been prepared include all steps necessary cover issues of nuclear fusion plant, from definition principles requirements, through detection source terms at risk, selecting postulated initiating events, analyzing accidents, quantifying doses population investigating waste production its management. Eleven GSSR volumes collate performed....
Abstract The impacts of natural hazards on infrastructure, enhanced by climate change, are increasingly more severe emphasizing the necessity resilient energy grids. Microgrids, tailored systems for specific neighbourhoods and districts, play a pivotal role in sustaining supply during main grid outages. These solutions not only mitigate economic losses well-being disruptions against escalating but also enhance city resilience alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. However,...
The paper provides details on the re-engineering of European decision support system for nuclear emergencies RODOS.Being a Java based product, new RODOS version named JRodos introduces cross-platform solution capable to run most operation systems, including Windows and main UNIX derivates.The re-engineered preserves computational models from v6.0, adding powerful GIS applying modern database technologies with flexible configuration possibilities.JRodos import functionality includes EURODEP...
In this paper, some aspects of recent progress in tritium radioecology and dosimetry are presented, with emphasis on atmospheric releases to terrestrial ecosystems. The processes involved transfer through the environment discussed, together current status environmental models. Topics include deposition reemission HT HTO, models for assessment routine accidental HTO emissions, a new approach modeling dynamics mammals, dose consequences human dosimetry. need additional experimental data is...
In June 2009, the 5-year multi-national project EURANOS, funded by European Commission in its 6th Framework Programme, reached end, achieving most of objectives addressed work programme. Partners from 23 countries integrating 17 national emergency management organisations with 33 research institutes, aimed to enhance preparedness for Europe's response any radiation and long term contamination. Three handbooks assist local authorities contaminated food production systems, inhabited areas...
One of the major objectives 6th Framework EC RTD EURANOS (European Approach to Nuclear and Radiological Emergency Management Rehabilitation Strategies) project was improve RODOS (Real-time on-line decision support) system in its operational applicability. In first phase two possibilities for main development has been discussed: either carry out refinements current version or consider a complete software re-engineering. The Users Group (RUG) finally concluded that latter option one be...
The project CONFIDENCE (COping with uNcertainties For Improved modelling and DEcision making in Nuclear emergenCiEs) performed research on identifying reducing uncertainties the release post-release phases of an emergency. started January 2017 as part European Joint Programme CONCERT. It brought together 31 partners from 18 countries involved members five Radiation Protection Platforms namely ALLIANCE, EURADOS, MELODI, NERIS SHARE. work program included early phase monitoring considering...
Throughout the various phases of ITER project, extensive safety analyses have been performed to ensure that potential hazards public, environment, and personnel are minimized. This work, done before a location for had chosen, resulted in very comprehensive assessment terms impact at "generic site". By making good use favourable environmental characteristics fusion, outcome was achieved.Now Cadarache site, southern France, has selected construction, it is necessary reanalyze postulated...
Abstract Design basis accidents are investigated continuously for the European DEMO reactor accompanying its development. One selected postulated initial event (PIE) is a loss of vacuum (LOVA) in vessel (VV) with large ingress air induced by rupture VV penetration. It has been helium cooled pebble bed (HCPB) blanket concept according to baseline 2017. The associated primary heat transfer system (PHTS) and related systems tokamak building, from PHTS vault galleries, considered investigation....
Current radiological emergency response recommendations have been provided by the International Commission on Radiological Protection and adopted Atomic Energy Agency in comprehensive Safety Standards. These standards provide dose-based guidance for decision making (e.g., sheltering or relocation) via generic criteria terms of effective dose range from 20 mSv per year, during transition to existing exposure situation, 100 mSv, acute annual, urgent phase a nuclear accident. The purpose this...
Decision-making in emergency management involves many parties with different views, responsibilities and interests for which a consensus must be found. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) can help to ensure transparency such decision processes. This paper describes the application of MCDA nuclear remediation experiences gained from conducting moderated decision-making workshops. The workshops were based on hypothetical accident scenario generated by real-time online support system,...
Under the auspices of its Euratom Research Framework Programmes, European Commission (EC) has supported development RODOS (Real-time Online DecisiOn Support) system for off-site emergency management after nuclear accidents more than a decade. Significant additional funds have been provided by many national research programmes, institutes and industrial collaborators. In particular, German Ministry Environment, Nature Conservation Reactor Safety financially contributed to project with an...
The CONFIDENCE dissemination workshop “Coping with uncertainties for improved modelling and decision making in nuclear emergencies” was held December 2–5, 2019 (Bratislava, Slovak Republic). About 90 scientists makers attended the workshop. allowed presentation of project results, demonstration applicability developed methods tools interactive discussion sessions collection feedback from participants. results were disseminated not only form presentations posters but also through workshops...
