Abstract

AbstractDuring the Chernobyl accident it became evident that there was no up to date information of the radiological situation in Bavaria as a whole. Therefore an online measuring network was implemented, which provides radioactivity data around the clock from all over Bavaria. It comprises measuring devices for gamma-dose rate, airborne aerosol and iodine activity and precipitation. The data are processed in accessory computers and transferred to the main network computers in Augsburg by means of a subcenter computer at the site of the IfR-station. Alarm levels are low in order to have an early warning against airborne radioactivity. New techniques for remote maintenance of the measuring devices and nuclide identification are being planned and tested.
