As part of the refurbishment of the PS Personnel Protection system, the radioprotection (RP) buffer zones & equipment have been incorporated into the design of the new access points providing an integrated access concept to the radiation controlled areas of the PS complex. The integration of the RP and access control equipment has been very challenging due to the lack of space in many of the zones. Although successfully carried out, our experience from the commissioning of the first installed access points shows that the integration should also include the software tools and procedures. This paper presents an inventory of all the tools and data bases currently used (*) in order to ensure the access to the CERN radiological areas according to CERN’s safety and radioprotection procedures. We summarize the problems and limitations of each tool as well as the whole process, and propose a number of improvements for the different kinds of users including changes required in each of the tools. The aim is to optimize the access process and the operation & maintenance of the related tools by rationalizing and better integrating them.
