[An information system for analyzing the need for examining certain aspects of radiologic contamination caused by the...

In this paper we briefly report a set of programming tools designed to support the analysis of some aspects of radiological contamination caused by Tchernobyl catastrophe. First of all a system for data storing is characterized; after mentioning basic data structures, two mutations of this system are described (one version for data collected during a pilot study and the second for the main investigation). Next the problems of data analysis are discussed. Again we distinguish between pilot and main analysis. A simple query language is introduced and the procedures for coding some variables are mentioned. Lastly the problems and difficulties arising during the whole analysis are specified.
