The handling of nuclear emergencies is a complex task, which may involve rescue personnel at the emergency site as well as personnel residing at significant distance from the disaster area. This paper will focus on integration of support systems for use in emergencies arising from nuclear power plant accidents and will cover both plant-internal and plant-external aspects. The different decision centers being involved in management of nuclear accidents, the plant control room, the technical support center and the regional and national emergency centers, are briefly described and focus is placed on the utilization of a common information base, containing basic information being presented at an inter-center level. The utilization of advanced information systems for decision support as well as national emergency management systems is discussed in an attempt to optimize their use in an integrated information network.
