Effects of a nuclear explosion near the Austrian border on critical infrastructure and supply chains - Source term determination for nuclear explosions

The overall project deals with the consequences of a nuclear weapon explosion in the immediate vicinity of Austria and the effects on critical infrastructure and supply chains. The trigger for this is assumed to be an attack with a tactical nuclear weapon on a strategic target, such as the NATO base in Aviano, Italy, where nuclear weapons are stationed. Quex's contribution is to define the scenario under consideration and further develop the source term as used for propagation calculations with Flexpart.
