AGC24: International Campaign of Airborne Emergency Radiation Monitoring Teams

Original language description

The aim of this exercise was to continue the mutual cooperation between national airborne monitoring teams in the European Union. The national airborne monitoring teams use different monitoring systems, different evaluation programmes and different equipment calibration procedures. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure the interoperability of the airborne teams, the validation of the monitoring methodologies and the reproducibility of the results. Among other things, the exercise aims at mutual data transfer. The data exchange between the participants utilised the European Radiometric and Spectrometry (ERS) format. Such complex activity requires regular training and comparative measurements under normal radiation situation. It is also necessary to practice the logistics in the cooperation of several teams and helicopter pilots. In the case of participation of foreign airborne monitoring teams, it is necessary to train common logistics for the radiation situation monitoring while ensuring perfect flight safety of all participants. The exercise which was called the Airborne Gamma spectrometry Campaign 2024 (abbreviated to AGC24) was held from 3rd to 7th June 2024 at Přerov Airport. Four tasks were prepared for the participants: survey over reference area, composite mapping, chasing sources and surveys over areas with higher uranium and 137Cs contamination. The exercise was completed at noon on Friday 7th June 2024. All teams were allowed to further evaluate the data in detail and present the results by the deadline for processing in this report. Very good results were achieved in AGC24.
