2.2.3.1. System Functions<br />

a) 49 radiation monitor<strong>in</strong>g stations or posts across the country are networked <strong>in</strong>to the<br />

IERNet system:<br />

• 2 local radiation monitor<strong>in</strong>g stations (Seoul, Suwon, Cheongju, Daejeon,<br />

Gwangju, Gunsan, Gangneung, Andong, Daegu, Busan, Chuncheon, and Cheju),<br />

• 4 unmanned environmental monitor<strong>in</strong>g posts around the nuclear power plant sites<br />

(Kori, Younggwang, Ulch<strong>in</strong>, Wolseong),<br />

• 32 temporary radiation monitor<strong>in</strong>g stations (Baengnyeong island, Ulleung island,<br />

and local meteorological data observatory stations),<br />

• 1 environmental radiation monitor<strong>in</strong>g station at a military base.<br />

b) Any variations <strong>in</strong> the environmental radioactivity levels are checked and identified<br />

by the system from a collection of the data at an <strong>in</strong>terval of approximately every 15<br />

m<strong>in</strong>utes.<br />

c) The data collected is used to <strong>in</strong>form the public by <strong>in</strong>ternet, <strong>in</strong> order to improve<br />

public trust and build a better understand<strong>in</strong>g regard<strong>in</strong>g the establishment of safety<br />

The AINS system is for trac<strong>in</strong>g the variation status <strong>in</strong> the parameter values of the safety<br />

functions, which are collected on a real‐time basis either by the SIDS or IERNet systems.<br />

The system sends alarm signals <strong>in</strong> e‐mail messages to the emergency response personnel<br />

when the critical parameters exceed the set value ranges.<br />
