English Abstract The National Radiation Monitoring Network, with
automatic warning capabilities (LMR) has been operational in the Netherlands
since March 1990. For the automatic warning facilities of the network, the
'network' technician on duty' can monitor the network on his or her
so-called 'LMR-home-PC', using custom-built presentation software. During
1994, the LMR will be integrated with another nation-wide radio-activity
monitoring network dedicated to monitoring the effects of nuclear
detonations (BMNI), to form a new national network (Nationaal Meetnet
Radioactiviteit, NMR) that will accomodate the tasks of the former
individual networks. Because it will not be possible to accomplish the
presentation function for the NMR with the existing software, this document
defines new software. Due to the increased geographical density of the
monitors, a system of maps with three different scales, allowing a zoom-in
to predefined locations, is defined to replace the single map in the
software used so far for LMR.
