Abstract
In Bavaria there exist three sites where nuclear power plants have been installed, all of these are situated at rivers in mountainous terrain. The meteorological conditions in these areas are strongly effected by topographic features. For monitoring these plants by the Bavarian State Ministry of Environmental Affairs and Land Planning, a Lagrangian dispersion model in connection with a windfield model has been installed on an offline basis. Validation computations with respect to experiments in complex terrain and various meteorological conditions have been performed and show its advantages with respect to the Gaussian model according i.e. German regulatory guiding rules. The effective dose as well as the thyroid dose will be determined for children and adults for 1/2-h simulation time. Here, the paths of exposition are inhalation, ground-contamination and cloud shine. Presently, the model is being extended to monitor the power plants on an online basis in routine and emergency operation using intranet and the corresponding software technology. The controlling of the various complex internal and external tasks will be realized by an intelligent, selftesting job system.
