iMonitor Project is a demonstration of internet based remote data acquisition and monitoring system for the Performance Confirmation of the underground high level nuclear waste (HLW) repository. Various environmental changes in the repository need to be monitored and analyzed to confirm predicted performance of the HLW disposal. Using iMonitor, anyone with a proper access authorization to this URL site can monitor realtime performance of the repository from any networked computer. The concept of shared monitoring system may enhance the transparency of the HLW project.

A TCP/IP based data acquisition server is based on the SCXI platform. The Web-based iMonitor system enables real-time data monitoring, data archiving, data transfer, and unmanned E-mail distribution to remote PCs via the internet. Multiple users may simultaneously acquire and display data remotely using a Web browser. The system is also equipped with an automatic E-mail alarm system that distributes E-mail to registered users if the measured data meet preset threshold value or criteria. A similar set-up can be utilized for visual inspection of the repository using a video camera.
