Abstract

The paper reports on the experience and specific findings of a research team involved in emergency preparedness and response management activities using the decision support systems (DSS) RODOS and MOIRA in conjuction with domestic radiological assessment tools. Two cases are discussed – the ConvEX 3, 2005, international alert exercise targeting a CANDU reactor at Cernavoda nuclear power plant in Romania, and Oltenia 07 – a nation-wide drill around a scenario involving transborder effects from a VVER reactor at Kozloduy, Bulgaria.
