Introduction: A. Purpose of LAS

4. I. Introduction: B. Definitions and Abbreviations LAS – Local Alarm Station System (hardware, software, communications infrastructure) for collecting, storing and visualizing data from RPMs RPM – Radiation Portal Monitor Workstation – automated workplace of the system operator LAS service – program that communicates with all the RPM of system; runs in hidden mode at startup Videoserver – program that communicates with all the video cameras of system; runs in hidden mode at startup DB – Database of LAS, software for centralized data storage; runs in hidden mode at startup

5. I. Introduction: B. Используемые определения и сокращения (продолжение) LAS Client – GUI program, provides management interfaces for the system operator INSN – (Integrated Nuclear Security Network) System for centralized collecting data from LASes for monitoring RPMs status and enabling expert assistance Daily Files – Text file of raw RPM data; generated on a daily basis Files contain information regarding occupancies, alarms, and other conditions User Files – files of various formats usually alarm reports, RID-specra, etc. used INSN to transmit additional information on a specific detection

6. I. Introduction: A. Basic Architecture

7. I. Introduction: D. User Profiles & Responsibilities AdminstratorOperator Skills Profile Understanding of RPM detection and response operations Understanding of site operations MySQL server and database configuration experience Networking knowledge and experience Understanding of RPM detection and response operations Ability to decide on the type of detection Ability to save RID files and alarm protocols Expectations Maintain configuration of system Manage user profiles Maintain network and database status of health Perform data archiving and backup Operate RPMs and CAS software according to FLO training and SOPs Decisions on the type of detection Creation of reports on detection and other system events

8. ➲ Before LAS configuration it is necessary to have a list of all RPM with the following parameters: IP-address of RPMs Daily Files prefix assigned to the given RPM Number of counting gamma and neutron channels with indication of their location on pillars Availability and type of backup power for each RPM In the presence of video system: List of IP-addresses and access port number for each video cameras For each RPM - a list of cameras aimed at the detection zone of the RPM II. Getting Started: A. Installation

9. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Select "Database..." Setting of LAS database connection Enter database IP-address and port number Usually LAS client and database are installed on one computer. In this case IP-address of the service is 127.0.0.1 Default port is 3306

10. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Select “Basic configuration...” LAS Service Enter LAS server IP-address and access port number 127.0.0.1 and 8082 by default Enter the location of the LAS. This title will be used in reports

11. Allow to record Daily Files II. Getting Started: B. Configuration “Basic configuration...” item Daily Files Enter Daily Files name prefix Set Daily Files storage time

12. Allow the use of video system II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Video system Enter video server IP-address and access port number Push to add a video camera “Basic configuration...” item

13. Set the display name of the camera II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Video system: camera Push to delete the camera “Basic configuration...” item Enter camera IP-address and access port number

14. Specify the location of RPM detectors II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Add RPM Set RPM IP-address and access port number Set the prefix for the names of the RPM Daily Files Set RPM display name Allow or diable alarm state auto reset Specify the type of backup power Set the camera bound with a given RPM Push to remove the RPM “Basic configuration...” item

15. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Binding camera to RPM Enable the binding of the RPM to a video system Add the camera to the list of cameras associated with the RPM “Basic configuration...” item

16. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Check camera or multiple cameras associated with the RPM One RPM can be associated with multiple cameras aimed at the detection zone of the RPM One camera can be associated with several RPMs, located close to each other “Basic configuration...” item Binding camera to RPM

17. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Adding next RPM Push “Apply” to accept changes Click on the "Monitor"and add the remaining RPM “Basic configuration...” item Push to remove the RPM

18. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Select “User accounts...” User’s account manager There are two access levels in the program – Administrator and Operator Push the “Add” button to add new user

19. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration “User accounts...” item Enter login and access level Enter user password Push “ОК” button System settings can be changed only by administrator, not by operator User’s account manager

20. II. Getting Started: B. Configuration Use the “Lock” button if you want to temporally lock user’s access Press the “OK” button to apply changes Administrator only can edit user’s account list Press the “Remove” button to delete user User’s account manager “User accounts...” item Use the “Edit” button if you want to change password or user’s access level

21. II. Getting Started: C. Current State RPM icons The panel of the current session event log Main window Indication of the workstation goes on battery backup Visibility of the panel controlled by item "Event's log" of "View " menu

22. II. Getting Started: C. Current State RPM State indication Disconnected statePreparing stateReady state Measure state Alarm in progress state, measurements are continuing Alarm stateMalfunction stateMalfunction that allows further operation

23. III. Operation Order: A. Current State of RPM Monitor status with readings temperature sensors and a list of malfunctions Panel display the live video from cameras bound to a monitor Panel view of the current total count rate Yellow color indicates the “Measure” time intervals Red color - alarm

24. III. Operation Order: B. Alarm processing This window is closed after a few minutes or on mouse click Button to go to the list of alarms A message box about the alarm event

25. III. Operation Order: B. Alarm processing Step 1 Go to next step Enter information about the object that alarm triggered Choose the best shot

26. III. Operation Order: B. Alarm processing Step 2 Yellow color indicates the “Measure” time intervals in red - the excess of threshold Count rate profiles for object movement Go to next step

27. III. Operation Order: B. Alarm processing Step 3 Push “Secondary” button if you need additional verification If the detection is “false” or “innocent”, select the corresponding field enter a comment and push “PROCEED” button

28. III. Operation Order: B. Alarm processing Step 3 (Secondary inspection) Enter the results of additional inspection Attach a file of the spectrum from the RID Specify the category of detection based on additional inspection enter a comment and push “PROCEED” button

29. Select “DB browser...” III. Operation Order: C. LAS events browser Select a date range Choose a category and type of events Push “Apply” button Select monitors for viewing

30. III. Operation Order: C. LAS events browser Creating and printing tabular report on the event list Export a file of the spectrum Create a report on the specified detection event

31. III. Operation Order: C. LAS events browser A alarm report Save as PDF- file Print out

32. IV. Standard Operating Procedures: A. Data backup Data backup and Archiving is recommended Daily Files are stored in the directories specified during system configuration. Default paths are: %ALLUSERSAPPDATA%\YaLocalPost\Daily_Files It is recommended that this directory be copied to external storage (external HDD, USB flash, or other storage media) at least once per week.
