Kozloduy NPP intranet portal, Bulgaria

The Kozloduy NPP intranet portal was established in the late 1990s. The purpose of the portal was to provide access to general and frequently used information necessary for routine and daily work of the plant staff. Over the years the intranet site has been continuously improved and extended. The portal is now a standard tool for every member of plant personnel. The portal architecture has been designed on a modular basis and follows the general structure of the plant. The home page contains general, publicly accessible and frequently used information and corresponding links. Each major division maintains its own sub-portal, which services the specific needs of the division personnel. Hierarchical structure, pull down and shortcut menus facilitate navigation and provide a user friendly interface. The portal is based on FrameWork 1.1 and DotNetNuke and provides group and individual communications and data exchange. Most of the major plant databases related to documentation, plant operation, plant safety, plant systems data, training and human resources are accessible through the portal. Miscellaneous information and useful internal and external links also are available. Different types of communication services are organized through a separate server. Depending on their role and position, each staff member has been provided with an internal and/or external email address and an individually configured internet connection. For general purposes cable internet is accessible at several points, which are evenly located around the site, and there is also a secure wireless network connection. Search and retrieve functions are implemented through respective engines, which are incorporated into applications. The portal has a strongly defined access rights system. Anonymous access is prevented; page personalization is available only for limited specific cases. Figures show the home page and the path to Units 5 and 6 on-line technical parameters
