Federal Radiological Situation Centre

A special crisis team known as the Federal Radiological Situation Centre is set up in the event of a radiological emergency. This centre is responsible for drawing up the radiological situation report, which includes information on the circumstances of the accident, the current radiological situation, and a forecast of its development. At the Federal Radiological Situation Centre, experts from various authorities and institutions work hand in hand at the federal level under the direction of the Federal Environment Ministry (BMUV). The centre uses systems including the ELAN electronic situation display and the decision-making assistant RODOS of the BfS.

In the case of a nuclear accident, the Federal Länder (federal states) establish emergency care centres in the affected areas after the passage of a radioactive cloud. People who have been in the area of the cloud can register and seek advice there.
