THE KOLANET INTERNATIONAL PROJECT - QUICK-RESPONSE SYSTEM ON RADIATION ACCIDENTS FOR THE KOLA-PENINSULA

According to the international project Kolanet dealing with informatio n defining the ecological problems in the Barents Euro-Arctic Region, one of the main tasks is the elaboration of the information system for quick response to radiation accidents on the Kola Peninsula and in th e counties of the Northern Fennoscandia. The concept of the system inc ludes: a radioactive monitoring net; telecommunications system; databa se of nuclear risk objects; and real-time prediction of the radiation situation and possible consequences using mathematical models with GIS technology. The first step in the development of this project is disc ussed, using the Kola NPP as an example.
