The original tasks for the group were the following: - to study methodic recommendations on planning the international exercise for international services that are worked out on basis of planning of NATO s peace-management operations; - to study and generalize the experience of the similar international exercises held by the countries of Barents Euro- Arctic region; - to analyze the emergencies for the last five years, to find out the frequency of their happening and to estimate a possibility of their happening in the Murmansk region; In the group s report there were identified risks of emergencies connected with forest fires, big road accidents and possibility of oil spills. Identification of the risks has become a starting point for determining a theme, goals and objectives of the exercise and its scenario. On basis of the experience of international exercises of the same kind the group of the project developers suggested that the field exercise should have a theme of Organization of cooperation between rescue services and departments of Russia, Norway, Finland and Sweden in emergencies of different kind and be conducted in four stages. 6

Opening situation There started a fire onboard of a transport aircraft. The uncontrolled airplane fell onto storage of radioactive waste in Andreeva Bay. According to the information from the operative officer on duty the explosion resulted in destruction of the container for storing wastes and radioactive discharge into the environment. 15 people got some doses of irradiation. 3 people were hospitalized with traumas of medium severity and signs of radiation sickness. As result of the explosion a transport container type TK-18 was damaged. About 5% (app. 740 grams) of nuclear technology waste in the form of fine particles were emitted on a high altitude and made a plume of radioactive contamination towards the Rybachy Peninsula and Norway. And the rest of the waste in the form of larger particles was dispersed on a territory of 2 ha in the region of the aircraft crash. At the temporary storage of radioactive waste at the Andreeva Bay (branch number 1) Federal State Unitary Enterprise «SevRAO» there was announced emergency situation regime. Planning activities were carried out to eliminate the effects of radiation accidents with the help of system of emergency reaction. The staff, which was not involved in the elimination, was evacuated.
