RAIS Customizations and the experience from other countries

RAIS Customizations and the experience from other countries Dragan Avramovski Section of Regulatory Infrastructure and Transport Safety Division of Radiation, Transport and Waste Safety Department of Nuclear Safety and Security

Customization Features • RAIS is highly customizable to match national regulatory systems • RAIS Customization includes: – – – Scope UI (User Interface) Background functionalities Reports and data analysis Regulatory system settings

RAIS is Multi-Lingual • RAIS 3. 4 Web interface is completely multi-lingual – System Text – Data – Report • Official UN languages are included • On-the-fly translation mechanism provides for – Translation into other languages – Replacing RAIS 3. 4 Web terms by national terms if needed – Terminology used can be context specific

Translation

Safety mechanism for data consistency • Internal data consistency checking. If inconsistency is suspected, a warning appears and the user is requested to make an action • 43 consistency tests are included • Additional tests can be added through customization

Examining data consistency RLA 9064/010, 3 – 7 September 2012 6 6

Attach documents to Regulatory process steps

Create custom Reports

Automatic RAN generation

SQL programming in RAIS

Communicate with external systems • Send and receive XML files • Create own logic to process the received information

Points to take away • RAIS offers high degree of flexibility • The system can be altered without recompilation of the source code • An affordable mechanism it terms of resources to implement different variants of RAIS for different Regulatory Systems adopted in Member States

Advanced Use Cases of RAIS in Member States Some insights of gathered experience from RAIS Expert Missions

RAIS has a Data-Model • By default, RAIS is built on Structured Data. Model based on the Safety-Standards But……

Member States prior adopting RAIS Linked Authorization number Dose Passport number • Use Excel or similar mechanism for keeping Radiation Safety records • The data is often incomplete • The data does not follow a well established Data-Model and is Unstructured

Latvia: Workers Dose Passport Number

Serbia: License modification • License is issued through the Authorization process • To renew the License, instead of changing the status, a new process must be initiated that is linked to the original License Number • Display a report that will list all renewed Licenses with the new number related to their original License.

Serbia: License modification

Bosnia and Herzegovina: complex Administrative organization Two Entities and one District with their own Government 1. District of Brcko 2. Republika Srpska a) Cities 3. Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina a) 10 Cantons i. Cities

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Include 3 rd and 4 th administrative level

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Include 3 rd and 4 th administrative level

Bosnia and Herzegovina: reports for SS, RG and US by canton

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Connection with Document Management System for Radiation Generators

Beyond regulatory Activities • RAIS customization features open a wide door for its application beyond regulatory activities. For example: – A system for national dose register (Radiation Protection Dosimetry (2011), pp. 1– 7, doi: 10. 1093/rpd/ncr 368) – A system for radioactive waste management (Radioactive Waste Management register RWMR)

South Africa: National Dose Register SQL Code Database Tables Masks re-design

Radioactive Waste Management register (RWMR) • Build as a module in RAIS • Contains additional information and functionalities relevant for operators • Takes advantage of the Source Inventory functionalities of RAIS • The program is led by NEFW and used by: – Cuba, Philippines, Peru, Morocco, Barbados etc.
