Health Physics Information Management Systems

Monday & Tuesday, July 29-30, 2024

We will dedicate two full days of sessions related to HIS-20™ Health Physics Information Management Systems. This track is open to current contract customers; there is no charge to participate. This is a great opportunity to collaborate with colleagues and share challenges and successes with the company and your fellow users. These sessions will be held on Monday and Tuesday which will allow you to participate in the conference later in the week.

Below is a summary of the topics we propose to cover at the 2024 conference. As more of you sign up, we may decide to add or drop a topic to tailor the conference to you, our audience! And as always, don’t be afraid to volunteer to present any issue from your site that might be of interest to the HIS-20/WACS community.

Debugging EventScheduler jobs through XLNT

XLNT is an extended language for Windows operating systems which provides script support. We use XLNT scripts to run batch jobs with the HIS-20 batch event scheduler. In this module, we will show you how to run XLNT when troubleshooting event scheduler jobs that hang or don’t produce output.

Dose Apportion Report

The Dose Apportion Reporting application is a separate tool to be used in conjunction with HIS-20 platform to divide and allocate Dose of Legal Record (DLR) between power plant units. This will be done using the same ratio that the estimated dose from access control records as they were allocated to the units by the Unit field on the RWPs. In this module we will do training on how to set up and run the Dose Apportion tool.

Training – User’s Choice

We are anxiously awaiting your input on topics you would like to explore in more detail.

Question and Answer – Do you use?

We have a list of functions that we are curious if you are using or not. We will try to provide this information prior to the meeting so that you can work with your team to get answers.

V8.4 Highlights

With Version 8.4 being released, we will review the highlights of what was added to the product.

• ASCII Data File to Create

  In Version 8.3, several fields and sort criteria were added to the Data Transfer file. We will teach you to use the new selection criteria and include estimated dose in your report.

• Previous Exposure Form

  The previous exposure form is now a grid form. In this training session, we will teach you how to use the new Previous Exposure Form.

Internal Dosimetry Bioassays and Interface to Whole Body Counters

This training module will go through entering and assigning dose to Bioassay samples in the Internal Dosimetry module.

We are looking for suggestions and ideas on what data you would like the HIS-20 system to incorporate in an Interface to Whole-Body Counters.

Meet with the Experts

During these time frames the HIS-20 team will be available to talk one-on-one with anyone who has questions, ideas, or other comments.

SPR Voting

In this session we will discuss the results for the 2024 SPR voting. In addition, we will also update you on the progress of past voted SPRs.

Looking Forward – Version 9.0

This year we will highlight Version 9.0 and the changes involved in getting this version to be released.

Air Samples, Survey, Internal Dose from Air Samples

In this session, we will discuss the various methods of entering an Air Sample in HIS-20 software and see if there is a way to consolidate these into a common interface.

Redesigning the Briefings Functionality

We will revisit many of the notes we have taken over the last couple of years to improve RWP briefings. Our plan is to have some set prototypes that we can work from for going forward.
