Workshop on the Implementation of the International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS) was organized by IAEA during the period from 16 to 19 July, 2018. Maria Kadatskaya, chief of department for ecological information providing, took part in this event.
The purpose of the event is to improve awareness and understanding of IRMIS among the points of contact and designated Data Providers for IRMIS, in particular by enhancing their knowledge of the implementation arrangements established for sharing large amounts of routine and emergency radiation monitoring data. In addition, the event will provide an opportunity to present the features and functionalities of IRMIS and share the experiences of Member States that use IRMIS as part of their emergency preparedness and response operations.
Main purpose of this workshop is to gain knowledge about technical and administrative mechanisms and instruments provided by IRMIS to benefit from implementation of the data sharing platform for their national system of radiation monitoring. Participants were provided with guide for the IRMIS implementation on corresponding platforms of information technologies of country including joint use of large number of routine and emergency radiation monitoring data. Participants gained an understanding of technical requirements for radiation monitoring system of member states in collection, storage and communication of data to IRMIS using safe transmission processing protocol.
Through theirs participation, participants learned about:
IRMIS using for exchange of large amount of routine and emergency radiation monitoring data;
Requirements for equipment and software which should be provided by IRMIS data providers for collection of radiation monitoring data;
Practical applications for IRMIS and technical duties arising from country participation;
Routine monitoring data preparation in accordance with format 1.0 of IRIX for reporting to IRMIS as well as
General applicability if IRMIS in routine and emergency regimes including all its functions and embedded instruments.
