- Abstract
- FLEXRISK studies the geographical distribution of the risk due to severe
accidents in nuclear facilities, especially nuclear power plants in Europe.
Starting with source terms and accident frequencies, the large-scale
dispersion of radionuclides in the atmosphere is simulated for about 1000
meteorological situations. Together with the subsequent calculation of
resulting radiation doses the consequences of severe accidents can be
estimated. Maps and diagrams will indicate, e.g., where in Europe the risk
to be affected by a severe accident is especially high, or which
contribution is incurred by the NPPs of a specific country. Through this
visualisation of the risks of the nuclear option and the comparison of
risks due to NPPs corresponding to construction type or location, support
for Austrian decision makers and better information for the interested
public can be provided.
