  1. NERIS Platform An attempt to enhance European response to and recovery from radiological emergencies www.eu-neris.net Raimo Mustonen, STUK NERIS – ICRP Workshop 6-8 February 2012, Bratislava NERIS – ICRP, Bratislava, 6-8 February 2012

  2. The European Platform on Preparedness for Nuclear and Radiological Emergency Response and Recovery Why NERIS ? • Real need and desire to maintain the collaboration momemtum gained during the EURANOS project in 2004-2009 • Tendency of the EC to aggregate R&D activities in Europe under lager platforms (Technology Platforms) • Mission orientation of the platforms: • “European need, challenge or problem, rather than simply seek to implement a technology. That is to say, the focus must be on the overall innovation challenge, including its social- economic- legislative- political- implementational aspects, rather than only the technological issues” (EURAB 04.010, European Research Advice Board) NERIS – ICRP, Bratislava, 6-8 February 2012

  3. Why NERIS ? • Emergency management includes all these aspects (social, economical, legislative, political and implementational, and also technological) • Europe: an array of countries with various cultural backgrounds and differences in administrative culture and legislation • Europe needs more coherent response to nuclear emergencies • Examples: Fukushima, I-131 release in Budapest, (Chernobyl) NERIS – ICRP, Bratislava, 6-8 February 2012

  4. Mission of NERIS • Confidence building • Encouragement of different stakeholders to co-operate • Facilitate access to expertise and technology and maintain competence for the benefit of European countries and citizens NERIS – ICRP, Bratislava, 6-8 February 2012

  5. Vision of NERIS • by 2015, the self-sustaining association for development of the joint European approach in responding to and recovering from nuclear and radiological emergencies exists, and • by 2020, all European organisations being members of NERIS are sharing common views and common approaches and developing and using compatible technology and methods for consequence management of the emergencies NERIS – ICRP, Bratislava, 6-8 February 2012

  6. Strategic Research Agenda of NERIS • Atmospheric & aquatic modelling – Needs for improvement • Key Topic 1: Atmospheric dispersion modelling • Key Topic 2: Aquatic dispersion modelling • Better dose assessments and decision support based on improved knowledge: source term, scenarios, etc. • Key Topic 3: Improvement of existing Decision Support Systems • Key Topic 4: Data mining, information gathering and exchange including providing information to stakeholders and mass media • Key Topic 5: Usage of the existing tools in the best possible way • Stakeholder involvement and local preparedness and communication strategies. • Key Topic 6.
