RADIATION AND NUCLEAR SAFETY G.Shirkov, JINR Scientific Council, Objectives: Purchasing of devices and the equipment for the radiation control. Purchasing of a mobile radiological laboratory. (*) Reconstruction and development of new systems of the radiation control (e.g. IBR-2M, NICA, IREN). (*) Disposal of the used radioactive sources. Handling with the radioactive wastes. Metrological maintenance of the radiation control. Accreditation of the radiation control laboratory. (*) - financial means of JINR Laboratories Approx. cost ( ): ~ 0.5 M$

LABOUR PROTECTION AND INDUSTRIAL SAFETY G.Shirkov, JINR Scientific Council, Main Goals: Providing safe and healthy working conditions for personnel. Ensuring prescribed benefits and compensation for appropriate category of workers. Realization of preventive actions to avoid traumatism, industrial- caused diseases, and also emergencies and failures. Activities to be continued: Certification of workplaces in regard to working conditions to validate, in particular, available benefits and compensation for work in harmful and/or dangerous working conditions. Scheduled replacement of morally and physically outdated equipment and technical devices. Re-equipment of the JINR Industrial and Sanitary Lab with modern instrumentation to take more precisely measurements and online processing of parameters and levels of the harmful and dangerous production factors. Technical upgrade of workplaces of the specialists on labor protection in the JINR departments. Advanced training in the fields of labor and industrial safety for the JINR experts and department heads. The JINR University Center can be involved in this activity.

FIRE SAFETY G.Shirkov, JINR Scientific Council, FIRE STATION control panel GOALS: Re-equipment of the fire station with fire engineering. Modern control panel (GSM, large covering area, etc.). Gradual replacement of the RID-1 enunciators Persistent activities to maintain the JINR infrastructure in accordance with the fire safety requirements. JINR enunciators including ~3500 RID-1 which have to be replaced 7 automatic gas fire-fighting systems Approx. cost ( ): ~ 2 M$

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES G.Shirkov, JINR Scientific Council, The Laboratory of Information Technologies Main Tasks: Provision of JINR and its Member States with high-speed telecommunication data links Maintenance of a high-speed, reliable and protected local area network (LAN) of JINR Further development of the Central Information and Computing Complex (CICC) Maintenance of the JINR Grid-segment Development and support of information systems with web-interface: thematic portals, paperless document circulation, workshop and conference sites, etc. Development of general Institute strategy and further implementation of the licensed software JINR - Moscow communication channel 20 Gbps The channel has been launched in 2009 with a capacity of 20 Gbps. The mentioned technologies allow one to create up to 72 channels of 10 Gbps each, and to raise the total throughput up to 720 Gbps. The project is realized in cooperation by JINR, RSCC, NORTEL, JET Infosystems, RosNIIROS, the Computer Networks Interaction Center “MCK-IX” Recent significant results Central Information and Computing Complex (CICC) upgrade 2300 kSI2K 400 TB During the last year the CICC performance was increased up to 2300 kSI2K (60%) and the disk storage capacity up to 400 TB (4 times) The working group at the JINR Technical Council was formed to analyze the current status, usage efficiency and plans of development of Information and Computing infrastructure and communication services: telecommunication data links local area network computing power and data storage telephony The aim of this working group is to prepare recommendation directed to the effective usage of these systems as a part of general Institute engineering and information infrastructure development strategy.

G.Shirkov, JINR Scientific Council, COMPUTER NETWORK Short description of the JINR network 6505 computers and nodes 3588 users 7531 IP 1223 Remote VPN users 1Gbps LAN (min. 100 Mbps) Controllead-access at network entrance General services: AFS, batch, Grid, JINR remote access, etc.) JINR – Moscow communication channel International channels The main JINR service-provider for access to the international networks is RBNеt. The parent organization, the ROSNIIROS, is operating the international channel for science and education. They started the process of transition of the trunk lines of these networks to the DWDM technology. Plans: Step-by-step increasing the total throughput based on DWDM technology Local area network Step-by-step modernization of the JINR Backbone – transfer to 10 Gbps (could be started this year) Development and modernization of the control system of the network Development of IP telephony and other services based on JINR LAN Traffic 20 Gbps (2009) → 40 Gbps (2011) → 60 Gbps (2013) →…. Full incoming traffic during 9 months 2009 is > 300 TB In 2010 it is expected > 1 TB It will be useful to investigate a possibility of using the channel for companies - residents of the Special Economic Zone.
