IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency
International Radiation Monitoring
Information System (IRMIS)
Incident and Emergency Centre
IAEA
IRMIS
• Supports implementation of the Early Notification Convention
• Provides a mechanism for the global exchange and visualization of large quantities of emergency radiation monitoring data
• Gamma dose rates from fixed monitoring stations
• Results from radiation monitoring and environmental sampling during an emergency
• Allows confidentiality levels to be assigned as in USIE
• Provides information to assist in the decision making process to protect the public during an emergency
IAEA
Routine data from fixed stations
• Gamma dose rate
data received from
national networks
• Data retained for
30 days (unless
associated with an
event)
IAEA
Data retention during emergency
• Routine data can be retained as long as the
emergency lasts
• Data is associated with events on USIE (relevant
events)
• Location and radius defined for data retention
IAEA
Emergency Monitoring Data
• Temporary fixed stations
• Mobile monitoring systems
• Hand held detectors
• Currently: Gamma dose rate Vehicle borne
Aerial borne
IAEA
Data collection and upload
• Routine data exchanged via secure FTP
• IRIX format
• Emergency data uploaded directly into
system by CA, data provider or IAEA
• IRIX format
• Excel template
IAEA
Comparison against OILs; visualisation of
Protective Actions areas
• Visualisation colours
based on OILs
• IAEA default OILs
• National or event specific
OILs can be added
• Pre-defined colour
palettes can be selected
• Protective action areas
displayed on map
IAEA
Routine Mode
• Data from fixed monitoring stations
• Visualises data for last 24, 48 or 72 hours
• Maximum or latest values over selected period
can be displayed
IAEA
Event Mode
• Event has been defined and emergency
data may be visualised
• Visualises data from fixed stations and
emergency data
• Visualises data for last 24, 48 or 72 hours
• Maximum or latest
values over selected
period can be displayed
IAEA
Analytical Mode
• Can be entered via Routine Mode or
Event Mode
• Allows for deeper inspection and comparison of
all data in a selected region and over a selected
time frame
IAEA
Auditing Features
• Detailed auditing of all major changes
• Changes or deletions of measurement data
• Changes or deletions of submitted report
• Changes to event data retention settings
• Records include:
• Time and date of change
• Nature of change
• Reason for change
• Who made the change
IAEA
Access to IRMIS
• Access to IRMIS:
• Authorized users at official Contact Points on
USIE
• Data providers designated by Member States
• No current access to the broader technical
community, media, public
• A public version of IRMIS is planned for a later
stage
IAEA
IRMIS Exercise
• IRMIS Exercise available • Connected to USIE Exercise
• Simulated dose rate data from fixed stations pre-loaded
• Data gradually appears over time
• Available for use by Official Contact points and IEC during exercises
• Contact [email protected] at least one week prior to exercise • IEC appoints controller to configure system, upload and
test exercise data supplied by counterpart
• IEC will publish exercise Emergency Data during exercise
IAEA
Practical Arrangements
• GC resolution
encourages MS to
provide data to IRMIS
• Note Verbale sent to
all Member States by
DDG-NS
• Practical arrangements
to be agreed with all
IRMIS Data Providers
IAEA
IRMIS Data Provider Designation
• Contact point
nomination forms for
IRMIS Data Providers
• Inclusion in USIE
