Description

This paper describes the design and implementation 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 MicrochipTM PIC 16F628A micro controller; which provides control, on-volatile memory, data processing, and external communication functions. The system effectively controls a passive infra-red detector, an alarm sounder, 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.
