Abstract
Within the framework of the Nordic Nuclear Safety Research programme (NKS), RESUME-95 (Rapid Environmental Surveying Using Mobile Equipment) took place in Finland in August 1995. Amongst the purposes of the exercise were: (1) to test the ability of existing airborne, car-borne and in situ instruments to map contaminated areas (in this case from Chernobyl), and (2) to establish the comparability of results obtained with different systems. Preliminary analysis has shown that major features of the spatial distribution of the contaminants were identified by all teams, but that significant variations in absolute figures were observed. In this paper, some of the quantitative analysis undertaken to assess the comparability of the results and to explore any differences in them is described. Future actions within a European framework of off-site emergency management are discussed, to ensure comparability of results and to encourage development of standardisation techniques.
