GIS Technology

GIS platforms provide a useful tool to organize, analyze and illustrate geographically linked data

GIS technology facilitates: handling objects in geographic space better knowledge based on spatial data and events maps digital storage as database structured in layers of

spatial referenced information, based on international units (metter)

automatic scale transformation software conversion between Geographic Coordinate Systems spatial analysis functions for multiple correlations inside or

between layers

GIS - Benefits

Improvement of organisational and planning activities

Support for decision making

Improvement of geodatabase design and management

Reduction of redundant information in geodatabase

Integration of information from multiple data sources

New data providing by queries and complex analyses of geographical (related) data

Nuclear Power Plants & Environmental Protection

Finding the appropriate location :

Risks: Seismic (Geomorphology and seismic maps) Hydrology (Floods, Drought) Exposed population (localities, no. of inhabitants) Protected areas (special protected areas, sites of

community interest) Estimated areas of impact (air, water, soil) under

ordinary conditions and/or accident

Others: Access (railways, roads, landscape, waterways)

Nuclear Power Plants & Environmental Protection

During operation and after closure:

Monitoring networks (radioactivity levels in air, soil, water) – sources / receptors

Health and safety monitoring (effects of human exposure by radioactivity intake, incidence of related diseases a.s.o.)

Survey on the site for nuclear waste storage
