  A carborne gamma-ray survey system, named as KURAMA (Kyoto University RAdiation MApping system), was developed as a response to the nuclear accident at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011. A CompactRIO-based system KURAMA-II has been developed as the successor of KURAMA, and served for various activities on the radiation monitoring in eastern Japan. We continue developing KURAMA-II as a tool not only for the current monitoring activities, but also for the immediate responses in nuclear incidents in future. The current status and on-going developments of KURAMA-II will be introduced along with the recent status of eastern Japan.

Following on from the successful implementation of 'Cerberus' a comprehensive laser interlock / control and hazard display system*,**, on the Vulcan High-Power Laser at the Central Laser Facility (CLF)***, the last few years have seen the safety system become a CLF standard and its use extended to many different laser systems and laboratories within the department. This paper will provide an overview of the system, its enhancements and in particular the most recent developments of a design tool and the potential for this system to be used in other fields.

THPOPRPO04 openMMC: An Open Source Modular Firmware for Board Management ion, controls, hardware, target 94

  openMMC is an open source firmware designed for board management in MicroTCA systems. It has a modular architecture providing decoupling between application, board and microcontroller-specific routines, making it useful as a base for many different designs, even those using less powerful controllers. Despite being developed in a MicroTCA context, the firmware can be easily adapted to other hardware platforms and communication protocols. The firmware is based on the FreeRTOS operating system, over which each monitoring function (sensors, LEDs, Payload management, etc) runs its own independent task. The OS, despite its reduced footprint, also provides numerous tools for reliable communication among the tasks, controlling the board efficiently.
