ATSTEP
ATSTEP is a Gaussian puff model for diagnosis and prognosis of the atmospheric dispersion, deposition, gamma radiation and doses of released radioactivity in case of accidents in nuclear power plants or during transport, and from dirty bombs.
It was developed by Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, one of the largest national research centers in Germany, and is designed for running in the RODOS system for nuclear emergency management. RODOS is operational at the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection, and test operational in many other European countries. More information on RODOS is available on the RODOS website and on the ATSTEP model .
