First Invitation to the PREPARE (WP7) Table-Top Exercice: “Monitoring a large scale cross border contamination in the aftermath of a nuclear accident”
The Table-Top Exercise on “Monitoring a large scale cross border contamination in the aftermath of a nuclear accident” is organised within the FP7-project PREPARE, WP7 Training courses, dissemination of knowledge and exercises.
In the event of a nuclear or radiological emergeny, the aim of the emergency monitoring and measurement strategy would ultimately be to produce a radiological contamination map of the area affected to guide radiological evaluators and decision makers in optimizing the protection strategy recommended for the public. The results of any emergency monitoring programme are likely to take days or weeks to acquire and collect data, according to the extent of the contamination and the characteristics of the environment. Many emergency teams will be involved, especially in the case of an accident with the transboundary impact affecting different countries.
The main goal of this table-top exercise is to disseminate the existing emergency preparedness plans for emergency monitoring on a large scale contamination, based on a hypothetical accident scenario affecting different countries and identify possible pitfalls.
