The monitoring of a radiation situation around a nuclear power plant is a demanding task due to the high uncertainty of all involved variables and limited availability of measurements from a sparse monitoring network. Assessment of the situation requires experienced specialists who may be unavailable during critical times. Our goal is to provide an automated method of instant radiation situation assessment that does not underestimate its uncertainty. We propose a state space model based on an atmospheric dispersion model, local correction of a numerical weather model, and a temporal model of the released activity. This state space model is highly nonlinear and evaluation of the likelihood function requires extensive numerical calculations. The sequential Monte Carlo method is one of the few options for estimating the state recursively. Since the simple bootstrap approach yields an extremely computationally demanding algorithm, we investigate the use of existing techniques for the design of a more efficient proposal density.
