Uncertainty in the application of GIS for predictive health risk assessment for a radioactive waste repository in Slovenia

摘要

At the NATO Advanced Research Workshop "GIS for Emergency Preparedness and Health Risk Reduction" held in Budapest from 22 to 25 April 2001 (from which the papers in this book are derived), Slovenian participants contributed two presentations: "Implementation of the Seveso II Directive in Slovenia" by Gerbec (2001) and "GIS and siting of hazardous facilities-approach and practice in Slovenia" by Kontic (2001). The latter contribution gave an overview of Slovenian experience with GIS, outlining several practical examples. One of the cases briefly presented concerned the selection of a site for a radioactive waste repository. In the discussion that followed this paper, two key themes emerged, which pervaded much of the debate throughout the meeting.
