  • Use of ROKO database for analysis of radiological data [Elektronski vir]
    Cindro, Michel ; Vokal, Barbara ; Banjac, Titina
    In an effort to closely monitor the levels of radioactivity in Slovenia, the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration (SNSA) is gathering data from many different sources. In the last few years a ... substantial effort was made to organize and archive those data [1]. The aim was to ensure easy access and efficient analysis of all off-line gathered data collected in the scope of government mandated program for environmental monitoring or operational monitoring of nuclear facilities. All off-line measurements used to be reported in printed media, regularly since the first measurements were performed in 1961 [2,3]. SNSA has undertaken the project of transfer of all those data into the electronic media and making it available for easy access. The resulting database was named ROKO, the Slovenian acronym for "Radioactivity in the environment". The database had to be manually completed with old data, what turned out to be a very difficult operation because of the large amount of data and their diversity. The scope of possible uses of the ROKO database is very wide. Most commonly, it is used for long term trend analysis of long-lived nuclides resulting from nuclear tests and the Chernobyl accident in the environment, as well as any inccident that occurred close enough that it impacted the Slovenian territory (Paks NPP, Cadiz - Algeciras). In this paper we will describe some aspects of data analysis and validation, followed by examples showing possible uses of the database. We pointed out strengths of the user interface and data presentation package, as well as shortcomings that were identified through the use.
