At each new facility, as part of the modernized engineering & technical components of physical protection system (PPS) the company sets up local control station of physical protection, which receives and displays video, graphic and textual information about the PPS state whereby the operator is able to control these means, timely and clearly assess alarm events and make appropriate decisions.
Initially when joined the international GTRI program, Ukraine expressed interest in centralized control of vulnerable nuclear and radiological materials located at its territory. In 2014-2016 as part of this Program, the company developed the Central Alarm Monitoring Station (CMS) for the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine. CMS operates around the clock in the mode of monitoring remote facilities with nuclear and radiological materials. CMS allows the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine to be in a state of continuous situational awareness, viz.:
- to have primary information of «right at the moment» type about any attempt to intrude on a facility with nuclear and radiological materials;
- to store and analyze information about the intrusion, including video before and after the event;
- to directly monitor the technical condition of the PPS at the facilities;
- to evaluate the local response.
All new facilities with modernized PPS components are connected to the CMS.
In 2018-2019 the company developed a set of engineering & technical means (ETM) for protecting sources of ionizing radiation (SIR) during their transportation for the Ukrainian State Production Enterprise «Isotop». With this set, enterprise Transport Dispatch Office (TDO) has the ability permanently, remotely:
- to monitor the vehicles designed for SIR transportation purposes;
- to control ETM installed on vehicles;
- to receive, process and store information about SIR transportation, including a way time, itinerary and itinerary deviations, alarm and trip events, other related information.
In 2019 as part of this set, the company put into operation the first vehicle for SIR transportation, which provides:
- prevention of unauthorized access and detection of illegal actions concerning car and cargo;
- impediments in the violator's illegal actions towards a car or cargo, including blocking a car engine;
- permanent communication with TDO and information about the movement and location of the vehicle, performance of vehicle ETM and communication devices, alarm events as well as transmission of service messages.
