The objective of the OTUS project was to improve
emergency preparedness at the Finnish nuclear power
plants with two specific tasks. The first is studying
radiation levels in rooms and in the vicinity of the
power plants and accessibility of them in case of a
severe accident during maintenance and refuelling outage
when radioactive substances can be transported into
different parts of a nuclear power plant and its
environment, because the lid of a reactor pressure vessel
and different material transfer gates of a reactor
containment building may be open. The second task was
studying the effect of sea breeze on the dispersion of
atmospheric discharges of the power plants during an
accident and methods to assess the dispersion during such
a specific weather condition.
