- Title
Design of an Access Control System: A Paradigm for Small Nuclear Facilities.

- Abstract
This paper describes the design of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) personnel access control/anti-intruder system, using an active Quad Tag (RWD-QT) Reader/Writer module in direct conjunction with a Microchip™ PIC18F4550 microcontroller, which provides control, non-volatile memory, data processing, and external communication functions. The system obtains signals from an RFID module, motion detectors and vibration sensors to effectively control a dot-matrix LED display, alarm sounders, and an electric door strike, thereby providing a low-cost, power-efficient, reliable means of supplementing traditional methods of providing physical protection for research reactor buildings. Relevant IAEA documents such as INFCIRC/225/Rev. 4 and TECDOC 967 (Rev. 1) were duly consulted for the necessary guidance in this research and development effort.
