About the development of a national system of response to the nuclear emergency for agriculture

Abstract

The document discusses the development of a system for responding to a nuclear emergency that could affect the agricultural sector. The analysis of some decision support systems showed that while the development of such a system there should be taken into account the advantages of the existing software tools allowing to derive recommendations for countermeasures and remediation of agricultural territories affected by the radiation accident. The consequences of major nuclear disasters have shown that the new system should consider the international experience on mitigation of the impact to agriculture, as well as consider potential nuclear emergencies, which can affect the territories located in the vicinity of nuclear facilities.
