title: [An integrated control system for radioisotope facilities].
abstract: The authors developed an integrated system for managing the safe use of radioisotope laboratory facilities, users' access to controlled areas, and the control of air-conditioners. This system consisted of a personal computer, an access controller, an eye retinal verifier, magnetic card readers, hand foot cloth monitors, video tape recorders and a fire alarm system. The access controller was set as the central unit to operate the whole system including 13 gates and air-conditioners. Under this program, only registered persons were permitted to enter the laboratories; the exact records on access were easily obtained; and electricity and fuel expenses were largely reduced. We expect that the system would facilitate the safe use of radioisotopes and the utilization of laboratory facilities.
