Abstract
Since Chernobyl a system for handling radiation monitoring data has been established by creating a distributed database of radiological and relevant (administrative-territorial, demographic, geographic and other) data. This system includes not only data, but a set of algorithms for processing this data. This paper describes a method to calculate average density of contamination (a basic parameter for assessing the radiation situation) using groups of measurements which have no coordinate references but relate to each other administratively (for example, by the name of populated point). The method consists in generating, using all the data of the base, a weight function which allows effects arising in rough mistakes and correlation of measurements to be corrected. This function has also been used to formulate a quantitative criterion for checking the uniformity of contamination. Using this criterion all the populated points for which information is available (7917) have been considered and those needing additional surveys (172) were identified.
