  1. International Data and Information Exchange: EURDEP Marc De Cort REM, Nuclear Security Unit ITU - Institute for Transuranium Elements Ispra - Italy http://itu.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ http://www.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ ERDIT meeting 7-8 April 2014 Freiburg

  2. Chernobyl response

  3. Chernobyl response National countermeasures

  4. ECURIE Introduction EC Euratom Treaty - art 35-36 Basic Safety Standards Directive - art. 45 IAEA Early Notification Convention (27/10/86) Early Assistance Convention (26/2/87) EC Council Decision 87/600 (14/12/87) • European Community Urgent Radiological Information Exchange (ECURIE)

  5. Council Decision 87/600 ECURIE • The ECURIE system is the practical implementation of the Council Decision 87/600.It is THE early notification system for radiological accidents of the EC. • When a Member State decides to take counter-measures, it shall forthwith notify the Commission and the affected MS’s • This Council Decision was taken to assure a better preparedness and response to transboundary events as caused by the Chernobylaccident • The Council Decision is binding for EU Member States; other countries can subscribe on a voluntary basis. • Each country nominates a Contact Point (CP, 24/7 available) and Competent Authority (CA).

  6. ECURIE What: Network for Early Notification and Urgent Information Exchange under 87/600/Euratom Council Decision Who: EU28 + CH, MK and SR How: Dedicated WebECURIE portal; fax is backup, conception and software development by JRC (ITU REM); training on-line; operation by DG ENER D.3

  7. WebECURIE Advantages • Web application instead of network of dedicated CoDecS stations: • Accessibility everywhere there is a web browser • No need for local installations and upgrades • Call-out system for alerting purposes • Reliability: • 3 web-servers and 2 call-out servers in Ispra and Luxembourg • Watchdog • But: currently no failover from Internet to ISDN • Simplified presentation of the notifications: • Status Board concept • Far less fields to compile 7

  8. WebECURIE

  9. WebECURIE Status board 23 August 2014 9

  10. ECURIE <> IAEA • The worldwide counterpart of ECURIE is the early notification system of the IAEA (EMERCON/ENATOM). • Intense collaborations have resulted in the definition of a common data-format (International Radiological Information eXchange : IRIX) and an identical set of information to exchange during an event. • The EC has signed the IAEA early notification convention. • WebECURIE and USIE (IAEA) are both compatible to the IRIX standards. • Being able to use the same data-format for the EC and the IAEA reduces need for duplication, therefore the EU MSs are strongly facilitated in notifying the two organizations during an accident.

  11. European radiological monitoring networks (status 2008) Ambient dose-rate Air concentration on-line stations: ±4500 off-line stations: 383 on-line stations: 236

  12. EURDEP General objectives Timely and free exchange with Member States and other European participants of information relevant to the radiological situation to support nuclear emergency response Exploration without prior commitment, regarding the use of EURDEP for meeting relevant EC requirements in routine and emergency conditions

  13. EURDEP Practical objectives Common data format + conversion software Set-up regular data exchange • daily/hourly • gamma dose-rate • airborne concentration Harmonisation of European monitoring networks(AirDos, MetroERM,…) • harmonise results from national networks (radiologically, topographically)

  14. Current status • Internationally recognized standard format for radiological data; • Network (37 European countries with > 4400 stations participating); • daily and hourly transmissions, mostly γ-dose rates; • Raw data available at 3 mirror-sites (Ispra, Italy – Freiburg, Germany – Luxembourg) • Web-site to view and download data. EURDEP http://eurdep.jrc.ec.europa.eu

  15. EURDEP Reliability 15 • Hourly operation in normal conditions to make sure that the system will work during emergencies • Software running on fault-tolerant servers with double network connections • Watchdog mechanisms to automatically report missing or wrong data by Email to data-providers and EURDEP operators • Redundancy: • Private and public web-sites with identical data and configuration • Three ftp-servers with all monitoring data located in Italy, Germany and Luxembourg

  16. EURDEP Dec. Making 16 • Workshops once every 2-3 years, all data-providers and IAEA participate • Working Group meetings twice per year, IAEA is member • Developments of EURDEP by the EC (ITU, REM group, Ispra, Italy)

  17. Data availability EURDEP • To all data-providers • National and international governmental Organizations related to emergency response • Some exceptions for research • Authorization by EC and/or IAEA • Authorization by national Contact Point • Reference to data-providers • Public web-site • Country imposed delay • No download of data • No meteo-data

  18. EURDEP The Fukushima experience

  19. EURDEP The Fukushima experience Evaluation of I-131 air concentrations (by P. Bossew, BfS Berlin and REM)

  20. EURDEP Fukushima <> Chernobyl Anthropogenic radionuclides in air, Ispra, Italy, 30 April to 10 May 1986 air concentration in Ispra

  21. Fukushima: Lessons learnt, future work Standardisation of HVAS measurements in Europe synchronisation of sampling times, harmonisation of measurements and reporting extend EURDEP data exchange for air concentration (7 countries on regular basis, 20 additional countries inserted “manually” during March-April 2011) Radioecological work make use of the collected data to provide information/forecasts on environmental contamination, as much as possible by means of existing models provide scientific input to the policy DG for future EC legislation Improve information to the public EURDEP 21

  22. Station time-series 22

  23. Tools & services EURDEP Will display on desktop, tablets, mobile phones 23 August 2014 23

  24. Tools & services EURDEP

  25. EURDEP Collaboration with IRMIS 23 August 2014 25
