1. 21. Monte-Carlo response for mobile gamma spectroscopy in fallout affected residential areas

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : William Lindberg; [2021]
   Keywords : mobile gamma spectroscopy; SERPENT2; Monte-Carlo;

   Abstract : Historically, two nuclear power plant incidents have led to major releases of radioactive isotopes into the environment. In the unfortunate event that such an incident would occur in Sweden, the national emergency preparedness has set-up carborne detector systems which can be used to map radionuclides in fallout affected areas.

3. 22. The Community-Centered Solution to a Pandemic : Risk Communication and Community Engagement for Co-Production of Knowledge in Health Emergencies and Infodemic Context

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för konst, kultur och kommunikation (K3)

   Author : Antonio Palazuelos Prieto; [2021]
   Keywords : Risk Communication; Community Engagement; Co-production of knowledge; Public health emergencies; Infodemic; Outbreak response; Disinformation; Misinformation; Rumor management; Covid-19; Development Communication;

   Abstract : This research explores how community-centered solutions facilitate the success and ownership of the response actions to deal with a public health emergency, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. When an outbreak or a hazard impacts a group of people, there is a strong need for communication in order to be able to access to the right information that takes people to make the correct decision and thus to take a protective action to be safe.

4. 23. Emergency Preparedness Process Proposal for Radiological Incidents at Accelerator Driven Facilities

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Leonie Victoria Stieren; [2021]
   Keywords : accelerator driven facilities; emergency response; crisis management; radiological hazard; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an accelerator driven research facility under construction. Once commissioned, a linear accelerator supplies protons to a target, whereupon neutrons are generated through a process called “spallation”. Neutron beam time will be available for a variety of scientific experiments. READ MORE
