In a current brochure, the TU, district office and government provide information on how residents should behave in the event of a nuclear accident.
Residents living near the research reactor in Garching, but also in Dirnismaning and the Ismaninger district of Fischerhäuser, as well as the employees on the research campus of the TU have received mail these days: In a brochure, the research neutron source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz, like the research reactor FRM II with full Names means summarized information on how to proceed in the event of a radiological emergency. Although the research reactor, as the operators emphasize, is one of the most modern in the world and has a redundant safety system, the German Radiation Protection Ordinance obliges the operators to provide up-to-date information every five years about the plans of the disaster control authorities for a possible emergency and the measures planned in this context publish protection of the population. “All around safe” is the name of the booklet, that too available on the internet is.
In it, residents and interested parties will not only find data about the reactor, but also details on the disaster control plan developed by the Technical University of Munich, the Munich district office and the government of Upper Bavaria. This includes alerting in the event of a disaster, the organization of radiological measurements by mobile measurement teams and – if necessary – other protective measures. According to the brochure, after an incident with possible effects on the environment, the Munich district office takes over the management of the operation and initiates – if necessary – civil protection measures.
