The reliability of the evaluation of the radiological situation in the pre-release phase of a nuclear accident strongly depends on the quality of the source term estimation. Input data for the decision support system RODOS, such as time, composition, extent, and duration of a possible release of radioactive substances (source term) serve as a basis for the assessment of possible radiological consequences in the vicinity of a plant. With the collaboration of BfS and GRS a source term estimation tool was tested at a reference plant in order to provide data for RODOS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
