flexRISK – Flexible Tools for Assessment of Nuclear Risk in Europe

Abstract

flexRISK studies the geographical distribution of the risk due to severe accidents in nuclear facilities, especially nuclear power plants (NPP) in Europe. Starting with source terms and accident frequencies, the large-scale dispersion of radionuclides in the atmosphere is simulated for about 1,000 meteorological situations. Together with the subsequent calculation of resulting radiation doses the consequences of severe accidents can be estimated. In this contribution, a description of the flexRISK project is provided.
