    The Observatory organised a Workshop on Nuclear Emergency Preparedness

    23 January 2025

    The Hong Kong Observatory regularly organises different workshops to enhance emergency preparedness capabilities in dealing with nuclear incidents. From 13 to 15 January 2025, the Observatory hosted a three-day training workshop with the theme of radiological dispersion modelling and consequence assessment. Experts from the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) were invited to deliver lectures, focusing on discussions about the application of dispersion model for consequence assessment in the event of a nuclear incident, and the latest developments in simulating the dispersion of radioactive nuclides in oceans. Apart from the Hong Kong Observatory, professionals from relevant government departments in Hong Kong, the Mainland, and Macao also participated in the workshop and shared their valuable experiences.
