Using the 'PARIS' software for the preparation of post-accidental situations

PARIS (Post-accidental Radiological Imitation System) is a software developed by the Russian Radiological Protection Institute (IBRAE) at the request of IPSN (French Nuclear Protection and Safety Institute). Its objective is the modelling of post-accidental situations. The PARIS code allows one, in fact, to generate post-accidental scenarios, by simulating the different data flows, notably measurement results, such as they could reach the experts in a real-life situation. The PARIS software is presented, covering its principles, architecture, functions, specifications and application examples. (R.P.)
