摘要

Decision support system RECASS NT was developed and is still enhancing in Federal Service Roshydromet for providing on-line estimates and prognoses of radiation and chemical situation in the event of an emergency, including acts of terrorism, as well as to estimate transboundary pollutants transport. RECASS NT has been installed at all ten NPPs of the Russian Federation, in Crisis Centres of Roshydromet, concern Rosenergoatom and Minatom, at plants for destroying chemical weapon. The paper will describe the structure of RECASS NT system and discuss its possible application in case of an emergency on examples of using the system during radiation emergency response exercises at NPPs. RECASS NT can be used for developing recommendations regarding time when antiterrorism operations are better to be started with a view to minimize damage.
