Abstract

The Chernobyl Accident led to major R&D activities across Europe to ensure that our response to such incidents was harmonised and comprehensive. Many have contributed to the construction of RODOS, a comprehensive decision support system, now widely used across Europe. We discuss our involvement in the design of methodology for uncertainty handling, data assimilation and evaluation used within RODOS and assess its success.
