Abstract

The article elaborates on two innovations developed for the purpose of protecting critical infrastructure facilities from two specific natural disasters – kinematic system for early warning of earthquakes applicable for the Bulgarian nuclear power plant (NPP), and a system for early warning of floods along the river beds near artificial lakes barrages. Both developments are part of the execution of p.1.1.6 from National Scientific Programme (NSP) “Security and Defence” – “Analysis of risk and threats, design and development of conceptual generating models and software for improvement of efficiency of control of forces and means for critical infrastructure influence during natural disasters, accidents and crises, on the territory of Republic of Bulgaria”.
