IS THERE A NEED FOR HYDROLOGICAL MODELLING IN DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR EMERGENCIES

摘要

This paper discusses the role of hydrological modelling in decision support systems for nuclear emergencies. In particular, most recent developments such as, the radionuclide transport models integrated in to the decision support system RODOS will be explored. Recent progress in the implementation of physically-based distributed hydrological models for operational forecasting in national and supranational centres, may support a closer cooperation between national hydrological services and therefore, strengthen the use of hydrological and radiological models implemented in decision support systems.
