The MetNet
Nordic Network of Meteorological Services Engaged in Nuclear Emergency
Preparedness
The MetNet working group is created with the objective of
improving co-operation between Members of NordMet
in the area of nuclear emergency preparedness.
In
particular the group will:
·
Maintain a network of Nordic meteorological services (DMI, FMI, IMO, met.no and SMHI) regarding national nuclear emergency
preparedness.
·
Be a forum for exchange of information on, and discussion of, related
scientific issues as well as operations.
·
As a service to the Nordic NMSs and radiation
protection authorities, MetNet will develop a
Nordic web-based password-protected backup facility for atmospheric
dispersion calculations involving real-time exchange of model results.
·
Perform joint real-time exercises on atmospheric dispersion of
hazardous and radioactive material from accidental releases.
·
Consider extending the group’s activities to preparedness for
other harmful substances dispersed in the atmosphere from incidents such as
releases of chemicals, bio-terror, air-borne animal diseases and volcanic
eruptions.
·
Maintain liaison with
corresponding international initiatives such as the EU ENSEMBLE activity.
