NKS Programme Area: | NKS-B | Research Area: | Measurement Strategy, technology and QA | Report Number: | NKS-15 | Report Title: | RESUME 99. Rapid Environmental Surveying Using Mobile Equipment | Activity Acronym: | BOK-1 | Authors: | Simon Karlsson, Hans Mellander, Jonas Lindgren, Robert Finck, Bent Lauritzen | Abstract: | This report describes the exercise RESUME 99 that took place in the surroundings of Gävle in Sweden,
September 6-9, 1999. The exercise was a part of the project BOK-1.2, Mobile measurements and
measurement strategies, within the NKS research program for 1998-2001. RESUME 99 was primarily
aimed at testing mobile gamma spectrometry with systems carried by cars, but also in situ
measurements were carried out during the exercise. In the exercise, the activity levels of 137Cs stemming
from the Chernobyl accident in 1986 was measured and mapped. The objectives of the exercise were to
train participating teams in measuring, to test co-operation for nuclear emergency preparedness, and to
prepare for a larger European exercise in 2001. Another objective of the exercise was to integrate the
carborne gamma-ray survey with recent airborne gamma-ray survey measurements of the area. The
exercise generated a substantial database that can be used for further research in this field. Several
interesting features were included in the RESUME 99 exercise, such as advanced on-site processing of
data and direct presentation of results on an exercise web site. This report describes the planning,
preparation and execution of the exercise, the participating teams, and results that was presented
during the exercise. | Publication date: | 01 Aug 2000 | ISBN: | ISBN: 87-7893-065-0 | Number of downloads: | 3897 | Download: | NKS-15.pdf |
