The Use of RODOS System at the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration

RODOS (Real-time On-line DecisiOn Support) is an on-line tool for emergency management of nuclear or radiological accidents developed to provide support to authorities in the decision making process. RODOS was installed at the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration (SNSA) in 2004 and the development of RODOS utilization is still in course. The SNSA conducts monthly exercises with various accident scenarios in order to increase operator’s familiarity with RODOS tools and maintain emergency preparedness. The paper describes possible use of RODOS, presented through exercises carried out during the last year. The aim of these exercises was to assess the use of RODOS in the scope of the SNSA emergency response organization. Based on this, a written procedure was approved for use of RODOS as a tool for the SNSA’s dose assessment group (Dose Assessment Expert Group- SSOD). Another field of RODOS use is cooperation with other user centers all over Europe. The SNSA is participating in EURANOS demonstration projects, providing feedback to the developers in order to improve the RODOS system.
