Abstract

The report describes software developed at the Institute for Nuclear Safety (Moscow) for the analysis of off-site consequences connected with nuclear technology. A number of computer environments developed and widely used are presented. A general description of the Central Data Bank on Chernobyl accident is presented.

Attributive information has been accumulated for about 10,000 populated areas belonging to 15 oblasts (regions) of Russia. The cartographic database includes electronic vector and raster maps of different scales.

Special software was developed for creating the applied information system for contaminated from Chernobyl accident regions of Russia. The main goal of this system is investigation of long term consequences of Chernobyl accident.
