Technical Support Centre and its Role in a Nuclear Emergency Response Preparedness

There are at least five major processes or functions that have to be implemented during a nuclear emergency. These are: (1) notification and activation of responsible emergency organizations, (2) data collection and preparation of technical bases relevant for decisions in the field, (3) decision making process, (4) protective measures implementation, and (5) watching the actions that are decided to be taken. In order to fulfill mentioned functions the nuclear emergency response scheme should be properly organized, responsibilities of each organization involved should be clearly allocated, emergency plans should be developed in details and the staff should be sufficiently equipped and well-trained. In the paper, nuclear emergency response scheme developed in Croatia is briefly described. Special attention is devoted to the Technical Support Centre (TSC) that is in accordance with international recommendations established as the lead technical agency. The basic role of TCS is in collecting data and information about the accident, analyzing and estimating its development and assessing possible radiological consequences.
