Master CBRNe & WSEAS

06.05.2014

The International Master Courses in Protection against CBRNe have been invited by the World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS) to present a scientific paper at the 7th International Conference on Environmental and Geological Science and Engineering (EG '14) held in Salerno (IT) 3-5 June 2014. The paper, as invited, has been presented the first day of the conference (3 June).

The International Master Courses invited the Directive Board to cooperate with students of the third edition of the Master to realize one of the scientific work developed by the students during the module of the course called “Software and DSS used in case of CBRNe events.

The students, thanks to the knowledge acquired during the course, have developed numerical simulations with the HOT SPOT code to analyze a possible accident in a biomass plant.

The paper is:

Here te abstract:

Abstract: - The proposed work is aimed to demonstrate the capability of the free license code HOT SPOT to simulate a radioactive contamination and its use as possible DSS (Decision Support System) for emergency planning operations. The simulated scenario’s consists in an accident to a biomass plant for energy production, where it is assumed for an entire year of energy production the use of biomass combustible , coming from the Chernobyl area (with a high 137Cesium contamination). The Italian area selected for this simulation is situated in Piemonte (north of Italy) because of the high density of biomass plants present. The simulation of the radioactive contamination have been conducted with the code HOT SPOT, a free license code. The results of the simulation and data discussion will be presented in this work by the authors.
