    Needs and challenges
    (Needs, main problems or challenges to be addressed)

    Lack of overall assessment of the radiological impact on Danube river from nuclear and radiation sites at the whole catchment area of the river.
    The subject about nuclear energetics development and sources of ionizing radiation finds its place in the con

    Objectives
    (main and specific objectives to be achieved)

    Main objective:
    1. To present an integrated approach on the assessment of the radiological status of the river for different water levels and outflow.
    Specific objectives:
    1. To identify the main sites which generate technogenic radionuclides at the te

    Main results and core outputs

    Main results:
    1. Identification and mapping of the sites and assessment of their releases in the river’s catchment area.
    2. Comparison between the impact on the river from maximum release technogenic radionuclides concentration under regulatory base lim

    Main foreseen activities

    1. Identification of the nuclear and radiation sites at the Danube river catchment area.
    2. Collection and processing of data for radionuclide releases from these sites.
    3. Macroscopic examination, aerial gamma spectrometry survey of riverbed territorie

    Innovative character of the project idea

    1. Macroscopic examination, aerial gamma spectrometry survey using detector system -SPIR-Ident Mobile.
    2. The instant determination of radionuclide contaminations in the environment using mobile gamma-spectrometry by “in-situ” method is qualitatively new
