Support for Administrative Decision Making in Technogenically Contaminated Territories on the Basis of a Risk Analysis Using Geoinformational Technology

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

General questions concerning raisk analysis based decision-making support for the administration of contaminated territories are examined. The characteristics and capabilities of the PRANA applied geoinformation system for decision-making support, developed for controlling risk and rehabilitating radioactively contaminated territories, are presented.
