G.A. Siwabessy Multipurpose Reactor (RSG-GAS) is a research reactor with thermal power of 30 MW located in the Serpong Nuclear Area (KNS), South Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia. Nuclear emergency preparedness of RSG-GAS needs to be improved by developing a decision support system for emergency response. This system covers three important aspects: accident source terms estimation, radioactive materials dispersion model into the atmosphere and radiological impact visualization. In this paper, radioactive materials dispersion during design basis accident (DBA) is modeled using HotSpot, by utilizing sitespecific meteorological data. Based on the modelling, maximum effective dose and thyroid equivalent dose of 1.030 mSv and 26 mSv for the first 7 days of exposure are reached at distance of 1 km from the release point. These values are below IAEA generic criteria related to risk reduction of stochastic effects. The results of radioactive dispersion modeling and radiation dose calculations are integrated with Google Earth Pro to visualize radiological impact caused by a nuclear accident. Digital maps of demographic and land use data are overlayed on Google Earth Pro for more accurate impact estimation to take optimal emergency responses.
