Regulatory Authority Information System (RAIS)
Based on the experience gained in the field and the new guidance provided by the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources, as well as the new requirements of the categorization and the security of radioactive sources, a new version of RAIS has been being developed.
RAIS version 3 is a management tool on information related to the regulatory controls of radiation sources. It offers the possibilities to the regulatory authority to manage its daily activities.
The new version of RAIS covers the following areas:
- Infrastructure information, e.g. the State’s administrative infrastructure, the regulatory authority and other relevant governmental bodies, and the classification of practices
- Facilities
- Radiation sources and associated equipment
- Authorizations
- Inspections
- Enforcement
- Radiological incidents and accidents
- Occupationally exposed persons
- Technical services
This new version is currently in the final stage of being translated into Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, Russian and Ukranian. Regional and national workshops will be organized in these languages, in 2005.
In order to assist the States to use the new system three regional workshops have been organized in Africa, East Asia and Europe. In this context, 90 participants from 45 Member and non-Member states have been training. In addition assistance is being provided to these States to assist them in the installation and customisation of the system.
