1 Introduction

The following summarises the content of the RODOS version PV 6.0

final, delivered in August 2007. As in the previous version, separate

package contain the RODOS WebServer which is required for the B-

user functionality and the evaluation tool Web-Hipre. The hydrological

model chain is not part of this distribution.

A major change compared to former RODOS versions is the

implementation of the new user friendly user interface called RODOS-

Lite. This interface written in the JAVA language allows to define runs

for the early phase modules without the selection of the model itself. It

contains a guided input path which is always controlled by the system

and therefore allows to correct mistakes during the input process. The

still existing A-type user interface can be run in parallel as RODOS-

Lite was designed for the use in the first hours only. However, having

expanded its functionality, RODOS-Lite can be used as long as no

intensive interaction with Automatic mode functionalities are foreseen

and late phase models such as LCMT and LCMF are not of interest.

The content of this description concentrates on the models and does not

cover the WebServer and its functions as both can be installed

independently.

To run the RODOS modules, HP-UX 11 is mandatory as several

models are programmed in FORTRAN 90 and the runtime libraries are

not delivered with HP-UX-10.20.

The following models were added or modified in its functionalities:

• Improved user interface RODOS-Lite implemented for the early

phase application of RODOS

• The ADM modules (ALSMC + QUICKPRO) were expanded to

cover 25 calculation nuclides

• The ADM modules (ALSMC + QUICKPRO) use three

different time steps (10, 30 and 60 minutes)

• The ADM modules (ALSMC + QUICKPRO) consider now

mobile locations for transport accidents and radiation dispersal

devices

• Country specific intervention criteria for early phase actions are

considered now in RODOS (defaults for all European countries

are implemented)

• The data assimilation modules DEMM and FoMM contain

more functionalities

• Screening of foodstuffs to identify those above reference levels

has been added as new feature to FDMT.


3

• LCMT delivers evaluation results for relocation,

decontamination and food separately to Web-HIPRE

• The evaluation tool Web-HIPRE has been expanded to start

now with a limited attribute tree which can be expanded with

the complete tree. In addition background information from the

EURANOS countermeasure templates are added. Web-Hipre is

integral part of the RODOS delivery, but has to be installed

individually following the installation of the WebServer.

• An Exercise preparation model was added as art of the

EMERSIM module. Input to this model is art of special input

windows in RODOS-Lite

The following functionalities were added to the system:

• The system can be started without any password

• The XML file created by RODOS-Lite can be used as start for

RODOS calculations. This allows to start the system in a

special mode from outside the centre by transferring this file

into a distinct directory.

• Graphics functionalities were improved with direct transfer of

graphical results to the Graphics window. A loop function for

displaying results were added

• The language used in the model results can be customised via

the National Language Support functionalities

• The colours of the graphical results can be customised

Specific description of these changes can be found in the various user

guides and the document for the adaptation of the system to national

conditions.

2 Major changes in RODOS 6 final

The following RODOS modules were affected by major changes

compared to version 6 delivered in April 2004.

Specific description of these changes can be found in the various user

guides and the document for the adaptation of the system to national

conditions.

2.1 ADM (LSMC, QUICKPRO)

The ADM module can be started individually as part of the A-type user

interface or as a chain of models inside RODOS-Lite.

The following changes were implemented

• Before, the duration of the ADM time step was always fixed to

30 minutes. Now, there is also the possibility to choose a time

step length of either 10 minutes or 60 minutes.

• It is now possible to apply country-specific intervention criteria

for the early countermeasures sheltering, evacuation, and iodine

tablets.

• It is now possible to consider not only nuclear accidents, but

also the explosion of a radiological dispersion device (RDD-

Explosion). The selection of the accident type is made via the

site selection.

• It is now possible to consider considering a radiological

accident associated with a fire, for example, an accident with

the inflammation of gasoline during road transport of

radiological sources for industrial, medicinal, scientific or

public purposes, of radioactive waste, of fissile materials for the

nuclear fuel cycle, or of nuclear weapons (RAC-with-Fire).

• RODOS can perform the near range calculations with 1 to 25

nuclides

• RODOS considers country-specific intervention criteria for

sheltering, evacuation, and iodine tablets. The term

“countermeasure criteria” for the ADM-model comprises the

dose concept (projected or averted dose), and the exposure

pathways considered for each organ, and the integration times,

for the comparison with the intervention levels for early

countermeasures. The numerical value of the intervention levels

themselves are subject of the early countermeasure model

EmerSim of RODOS. By default, the countermeasure criteria of

the country where RODOS is installed are applied. However, it

is possible to select the criteria of another country, or to modify

the criteria of a selected country.


5

• The vertically released volume flux and the vent area of the

release to the atmosphere was added to the source term input

2.2 EMERSIM

As before, the early emergency simulation module EMERSIM is based

on the results of an ADM run. This can be either QUICKPRO or

LSMC. EMERSIM is part of the RODOS-Lite user interface or can be

accessed via the A-type user interface. Major changes are:

• Country specific intervention criteria for sheltering, evacuation,

and iodine tablets can be modified within EMERSIM, whereas

the exposure pathways and integration times are part of the

definition filled in in the ADM input windows.

• EMERSIM calculates specific results for the exercise

preparation module. Input for the module is considered as

specific part of the RODOS-Lite user interface.

2.3 Exercise preparation module

Input of the module is realised within RODOS-Lite where you can

define

• Locations of monitors

• Time resolution of results for dose rates and nuclide specific

ground contamination

• Location of the emergency care centre

• Parameters of the emergency care centre

Output are doses and concentrations at the defined locations as well as

people approaching the emergency care centre with dose histories.

They can be used to simulate players in exercises which come to such a

centre from differently contaminated areas. Results are available in the

“outall” directory.

2.4 LCMT

LCMT has various usability enhancements over previous versions,

identified and implemented under the EVATECH project. These

include:

• The user may select a subset of the food passed from FDMT to

analyse. In previous versions, LCMT either performed

calculations for all foods passed or, in ESY mode, performed

calculations for just one food.


6

• There is no longer a specific ESY (evaluation subsystem) mode

for agricultural countermeasures.

• The user creates a large ESY file – a comprehensive set of

endpoints – and a very much smaller ESY file.

• The “disposal and stopping production” agricultural

countermeasure has been modified to produce endpoints

comparable with other agricultural countermeasures.

• The agricultural countermeasures “change of crop” and “change

of land use” have been implemented.

• Additional run information is stored with each run and with

each individual countermeasure within each run.

2.5 DEMM

The task of the Deposition Monitoring Module DEMM is to update the

predicted total (dry + wet) deposition on the ground and on all kinds of

plant surfaces. The predicted deposition data is calculated with a

deposition model using results from atmospheric dispersion modeling.

The update is based on measurements of net gamma dose rates after the

deposition process has ended. DEMM can be configured via a special

configuration file located in the directory

“~rodos/roextern/data/demm”. This file “demm.config” contains

selections for a twin experiment mode in which DEMM is running for

demonstration purposes.

Constraints are the still missing link to the data assimilation version of

the ADM (RIMPUFF).

2.6 FOMM

In its present version, the coupling to FDMT has been realised.

2.7 WEB-Hipre

Web-HIPRE (HIerarchical PREference analysis in the World Wide

Web) is a Java-based software for decision analytic problem

structuring, multi-criteria evaluation and prioritisation. It will be

accessed via the RODOS WeServer and is running in a web browser. It

can be applied to results of LCMT. Starting point is a limited attribute

tree which can be expanded with the complete set of attributes

delivered by LCMT. In its current version it also contains background

information about the countermeasures which are part of the

EURANOS compendia. Web-Hipre is integral part of the RODOS

delivery, but has to be installed individually following the installation

of the WebServer.


7

2.8 FDMT

Food screening mode: Food contamination is calculated for all raw

foodstuffs and four nuclide groups and compared against EU reference

level. Results are given in one overview text file and map graphs for all

food-nuclide combinations above the reference level (optional).

A Result table showing contributions of pathways / nuclide groups to

the total dose can be calculated for the location of the maximum of the

total dose

Information about maximum value and date of max. value is given in

in legend for maps of food contamination.

The location can be selected for time plots (either the loc. with the

maximum – as before - or an arbitrary loc. defined by the RODOS grid

cell number).

New output for deposition for nuclide group.

Language of all FDMT GUI and graphic output fully depends now on

RODOS language selection.

FDMT can be configured via a special configuration file located in the

directory “~rodos/roextern/data/fdm”. This file “config.txt” contains

selections for the definition of standard results and interface definitions

related to other modules (e.g. LCMT) or output (e.g. Google Earth).

FDMT is the first RODOS module in which an interface to Google

Earth is realised. The file created there (can be found in the outall

directory) can be imported into Google Earth for displaying there.

2.9 LCMF

The revision of the programme code of FDMF has an effect on the

input data of LCMF (see 4.7 FDMF).

2.10 Automatic Mode

The time step in the automatic mode is now fixed to one hour to speed

up the computation time

2.11 Modules with major changes in input windows

The following major changes in the input windows took place for the

following modules

• RODOS-Lite:

Advanced user interface for the application of RODOS in

the early phase of an emergency. It contains guided input

for the ADM and EMERSIM. Standard results of FDMT


8

and LCMT can be also requested, however no input mask is

foreseen

• ADM:

Input of the country specific intervention criteria

• EMERSIM

Input of the country specific intervention criteria

2.12 New system functionalities

2.12.1 RODOS-Lite

Based on the feedback by the users community, collected within the

RODOS Users Group (RUG), the so called RODOS Lite version of

RODOS was developed. This comprised mainly the development of a

Java based graphical user interface, designed by the RUG. Modules

affected are the ADM (ALSMC), the early phase countermeasure

simulation module (EMERSIM) and the foodchain module FDMT.

RODOS-Lite provides a set of input tabs which complete the necessary

input step by step. Whenever a tab is completed, the input will be

checked if consistent. RODOS-Lite offers the possibility to change the

language and time zone and is in this way fully customisable to

national conditions

2.12.2 Modem

The MODEM software was developed as a data and information

exchange tool for interconnecting decision support systems (DSSs).

The kernel of the prototype for data and information exchange consists

of the MODEM Server which collects information from the various

decision support systems (DSS) and distribute this information to other

servers subscribed to the MODEM network. A local MODEM Server

has to be configured for each DSS. This server collects the information

and distributes it to the local MODEM Servers of the other DSS. Once

distributed, any DSS with a local MODEM Server can download the

information and use it for its own purposes, e.g. perform runs with the

information provided or displaying results if available.

Tasks of the MODEM Server consist of:

• Message creation via a web interface.

• Automatic message creation and sending as a result of

information provided by a DSS.

• Message exchange had to be secured while being sent over

Internet


9

• For each message sent in the system a correspondent e-mail

notification message has to be transmitted

• Experts from emergency centres have to be able to send,

receive, view and edit messages. Messages could be imported

and exported to/from decision support systems

In addition, services have to be provided to collect the necessary

information at the local DSS and transfer them to the local MODEM

host.

2.12.3 Core system

When starting the RODOS system, two options are provide

• “runrodos” starts the system in the A-type user windows mode

• “runrodosL” starts the system in the in a dual mode with the

possibility to select the RODOS-Lite mode or the A-type user

windows mode

In addition, RODOS can be started now with or without password.

XML files generated and stored by RODOS-Lite can be used as input

to the system without approaching the user interfaces. Stored XML

files can be modified by a standard editor and send again to the system.

This allows generating batch jobs with existing XML files.

Extended National Language Support (NLS) has been added to the

simulation modules. This comprises the possibility

• to change the language for the table results in ADM and

EMERSIM

• to change the description of the graphical results for all

modules

• change the colour of the graphical results for ADM, EMERSIM

and FDMT

2.12.4 Graphics system

As part of the NLS, the colours o the results of the modules ALSMC,

FDMT and EMERSIM can be customised and defined for each country

separately

The results displayed in the graphics window can be displayed and

printed in portrait and landscape format.

An animation of the results was added for those results which are time

dependent

Results are send automatically to the graphics window when defined in

specific configuration files. These files are country dependent.

The data assimilation programs integrated in version 5 are for test-

operational use only. They demonstrate the potential to assimilate

gamma dose measurements for the determination of the ground

contamination (DEMM) and use measurements in food samples to

extrapolate the contamination at harvest (FOMM). DEMM can provide

input to the module FDMT (not program group) with an updated

ground contamination. A similar transfer of information is realised for

FOMM.

The DEposition Monitoring Module DEMM allows the assimilation of

gamma dose measurements with results from the near range ADM to

estimate a more consistent radiological situation after the accident. It

can be also applied using only the monitoring results. In this mode,

only point information is displayed and no interpolation to provide an

aerial picture is provided

At present, no uncertainties are delivered by the ADM but the

connection to the real- time data base is established. However, the

features implemented can demonstrate how the tool would react under

certain boundary conditions.

4.6 FDMT

The present FDMT is a program group which contains two RODOS

modules, however, not visible for the user. DEPOM calculates the

deposition to soil and crops whereas the module FDMT calculates the

concentration in feed- and foodstuffs and the potential doses from all

exposure pathways. This subdivision is only visible when a load list is

created. In case the user defines a new list, the ADM provides data for

DEPOM and DEPOM delivers data to FDMT.

4.9 Food Monitoring Module FOMM

The Food Monitoring Module FOMM allows to use measurements of

contaminated feed- and foodstuffs for updating the corresponding

model predictions. The resulting time dependent contamination is

further processed in FDMT, for the calculation of ingestion doses.

FOMM starts from the contamination of crops and soil which have

been derived by the Deposition Monitoring Module DEMM. At

present, measurements have to be simulated by file input as the module

is not connected to the real-time data base of RODOS.

5 Data bases

5.1 RoGIS

Despite not being part of a user guide, some definitions on the data

which should be part of the static data base of the RODOS system

might be useful. In RoGIS, several type of gridded information is

stored. This comprises data on population, land use, agricultural

production, soil type and topography. Others such as shelter factors are

not longer used by the RODOS modules. The units of these parameter

differ and the following table will provide an overview on this unit

problem. It is mandatory to keep the units correctly, otherwise the

RODOS modules are fed with the wrong data. From version 5

onwards, the unit is displayed behind the parameter in the RoGIS

selection window.
