In case of a nuclear emergency in some nuclear power plant and emission of radioactivity into the atmosphere, together with passing over of a radioactive cloud across the Croatian territory, the data about the radiological contamination of the environment would be crucial. Those data would be collected by means of two independent systems. The first one is the early warning radiological system (SPRU), while the other one consists of mobile measuring teams. The SPRU is on-line system that gets measured figures of dose rates in various measuring locations in Croatia. It consists of 15 automatic radiological measuring stations, the central computer with the program for reading of radiological measurement results and communication equipment. On each measuring station there is an MFM-202 device that measures dose rate of the gamma rays. The central computer is located on the premises of the TPC. A special computer program is being used for collecting the data from the measuring stations.
 The mobile measuring laboratory (PML) and mobile measuring stations (PMP) form the mobile measure teams. The mobile measuring laboratory is organized within the framework of the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Medicine of the University of Zagreb (IMI). The mobile measuring stations (two existing presently) operate within the framework of the Civil Protection. The duties of the mobile radiological teams in case of a nuclear emergency (in an early stage of its potential development), consist on measuring of dose rates on the spot, on site gammaspectrometrical analysis and collecting of the specimens of air, food, water, milk and soil, necessary for detailed laboratory analysis. The TPC manages the coordination of activities (time, location, data) between the PML and the PMP.

There are two main methods of collecting radiological data serving the needs of the TPC: using the SPRU system and using mobile measuring teams |
