Sharing Large Amounts of Radiation Monitoring Data in Nuclear and Radiological Emergencies: IRMIS
Description
The International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS) is the IAEA web-based tool for sharing, aggregating and visualizing radiation monitoring data during a nuclear or radiological incident or emergency, irrespective of the cause. The routine provision to the IAEA, on a voluntary basis by participating Member States, of the monitoring data from fixed monitoring stations during non-emergency situations is intended to ensure that the data can be reported effectively during an emergency. During an emergency, Member States may wish to provide additional monitoring data (for example: data from handheld measurement devices or mobile monitoring systems such as backpack, vehicle or aerial systems) to the IAEA. This monitoring data is aggregated and displayed on IRMIS. All monitoring data reported in IRMIS remains under the ownership of the reporting Member State.
