Abstract
ECN is developing a 'problem oriented user guide' for a PC-based computer program for real-time prognoses. This program, InfoREM, calculates the potential consequences of a nuclear accident from reported radioactive releases to the atmosphere and weather forecasts. This user guide will help the staff of the local and national coordination centres to use InfoREM to perform the necessary calculations with the data available during a nuclear accident. In particular, the guide will help them to diagnose critically the results calculated, before using these when implementing monitoring plans and countermeasures. An instruction set for performing 'simple prognoses' is discussed as an example for the methodology of the user guide. This set has been developed by ECN for the monitoring and decontamination teams of the fire brigades. In addition, the structure of infoREM is discussed.
