Data Base and Geoinformation System of the Project "RADARM".


Computer based information system developed in the framework of the project "RADARM" requires use of IBM or compatible personal computer with processor 486 or hihger, 16 MB RAM and volume of hard disk at least 500 MB.
Information of radioecological character is recorded in the memory of computer as numerical maps of various scales and electronic data bases (in the form of tables). The volumes of accumulated information are as follows:

Building of electronic maps showing required radioecological and other data (levels of radioactive contamination, spatial distribution of radionuclides and their migration, doses of people irradiation etc.) is realized by specially developed program with shell adopted for Windows(3.1, 3.11, 95).

As an example at the end of this page the picture containing several fragments of geoinformation system (including electronic maps and tables) demonstrating radiation situation in the Chazhma bay (Primorski krai, Far East) and surroundings is shown. It is the place of nculear accident on atomic submarine of Pacific Fleet. Let us emphasize that this information is presented at first time in our data base. Central place on the picture (fragment 1) is occupied by map showing the position of the trace of fallouts from radioactive cloud crossed Dunai peninsula. Fragment 2 shows levels of gamma radioactivity along the trace, fragment 3 - radioactive contamination of bottom sediments by cobalt-60 radionuclide in the point of exit of radioactive trace on the aquatorie of Ussuri Bay.
Fragment 4 is a tipical electronic table containing data base on radioactive contamination of bottom sediments directlyin the bay Chazhma close to points shown on fragmet 5. Fragments 6 and 7 reflects levels of radioactive contamination for all bay area and close to the point of accident near the moorages.

Developed GIS supports the following options:

  1. Support and management of data bases with radioecological, demographic, medical and other information;
  2. Preparing and management of data banks and electronic maps information;
  3. Informating-inquiry providing;
  4. Expert modelling;
  5. Building reference maps for the decision support making.
