International Research Projects

Research Projects Granted by European Union

1. Implementation of RODOS in Poland and. Slovakia contract No.: ECHO/TPS/B7-219/97/303, The project was sponsored by the European Commission's ECHO (European Commission Humanitarian Office) within the assistance programme to non EU countries. The project was implemented by an integrated team consisting of a Consortium of two companies, supported by local sub-contractors. The leader of the Consortium was ENCONET Consulting GmbH. from Vienna, Austria. The other Consortium member was STUK, the Finnish Radiation and Safety Authority in Helsinki. Polish side partner: M. Borysiewicz

   The following local subcontractors were involved:

   IAE, Otwock-Swierk, Poland

   VUJE, Trnava, Slovak Republic,

   Local subcontractors participated in all tasks in their respective countries, though their major involvement was on verification and testing, as well as on adaptation of operating procedures and training to local conditions and needs

   The following tasks were performed within the project:

   Computer hardware, software, and peripheral equipment: procurement and installation

   Communication lines, design and establishment

   System software installation and testing of RODOS operation

   System verification

   Operating procedures and work plans

   Maintenance program

   Training programme

   The tasks 4-7 were accomplished in 2000 year. In particular, the training courses developed and implemented by IEA (Laboratory of industrial installation safety, Department of threats prognosis and environmental protection) were as follows

   03-06.04 2000 User's Training Course

   10-13.04.2000 User's Training Course

   08-11.05 2000 Operator's Training Course
