Effluent Management Software (OpenEMS)
Description
OpenEMS is the effluents management system with the power and flexibility to meet your specific site needs today and into the future. OpenEMS uses the latest technology to seamlessly integrate with plant equipment and create a user friendly automated method for tracking radiological effluents from your site without expensive and hard to maintain custom software.
With OpenEMS, you effortlessly combine the results of radioisotopic analysis with release point monitors and perform all required RETS/ ODCM calculations from a single software package. As with all our software solutions, a flexible limit checking routine is included to ensure technical specification compliance at all times. Because we understand the flexibility required for meeting each sites' needs, the application can easily be customized through a familiar spreadsheet interface; stringent security prevents unauthorized modifications and ensures only approved changes are used. All of this is accomplished and tracked automatically without time consuming and error prone manual methods.

Chemistry Data Management System (OpenCDM)
Description
OpenCDM is the latest generation CANBERRA application designed to meet the unique requirements for nuclear power plant chemistry data management. Developed using the latest client server technology, OpenCDM combines flexible and intuitive user interfaces with platform flexibility.
Effective chemistry data management is mandated by the specific measurement and reporting requirements of plant technical specifications, administrative controls and equipment warranty conditions. OpenCDM gives plant chemistry staffs a powerful tool for logging analysis results, either manually or through automatic transfer from on-line instrumentation, and for trending the data via plots and reports. OpenCDM also has an analysis-scheduling calendar using a completely new design that assures chemistry samples are collected and analyzed at the proper frequencies. The scheduler is sensitive to changes in required sampling/analysis frequencies due to changes in plant operational mode.
CANBERRA has been providing the leading solutions for the commercial industry for over 15 years. OpenCDM was developed with years of input from Chemistry Managers at nuclear power plants. It's a fully integrated package that tracks all laboratory information.
CANBERRA is setting new standards in delivering data management solutions for the industry. OpenCDM is a turnkey solution; the easy configuration allows the system to be put into production without coding or the necessity of IT specialists.
Features
- Flexible sample data entry
- Full scheduling suite for analysis and events
- Instrumentation quality control
- Integrated web services
- Comprehensive and user definable security and authorizations
- Supports bar coded data logging
- Complex predictive trending
- Comprehensive graphics capability
Health Physics Information System (HIS-20)
Description
HIS-20 is a complete Health Physics Information System which is designed to document compliance with the latest USNRC, USDOE, and ICRP regulations and methodologies. HIS-20 integrates all of the functions needed to provide a comprehensive Health Physics program, including the following: Personnel Management, External Dosimetry, Internal Dosimetry, Access Control, Radiation Work Permits (RWP), Survey Data, Radiological Incident Reporting, and Inventory Management and Control.
HIS-20 is written using the UNIFACE 4GL, a platform-independent software language. HIS-20 can operate in a traditional client-server environment, via the web (using the Site's intranet) or using a file server for HIS-20 client software. Because of the flexibility in platform selection, HIS-20 can support future system modifications and upgrades.
Features
- Comprehensive, automated health physics records management program
- Documents compliance with USNRC, USDOE and ICRP standards
- Site-specific adaptability
- Written in UNIFACE® 4GL which provides the following:
- Platform independence
- Menu driven data entries
- Intuitive user interface
- Database security
- Flexible report generation facilities
- Automated interface with the following networked systems:
- Bioassay data
- Spectroscopy data
- TLD or film processing data
- Electronic dosimeter readers
- PADS data
- Compliant with rigorous quality standard
OpenCDM, OpenEMS and HIS-20 all utilize Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) to organize their data. Powerful reporting, plotting, and retrieval functions are included for fast and efficient data access. Other benefits of CANBERRA's Records Management Products include data import functions for selected instruments, providing a reliable and efficient means of data entry. And, strict quality standards are used to ensure the highest levels of conformity, reducing the effort required by site personnel when placing a records management system into service.
