Facility Vulnerability with VISAC |
View Facility Information
Information about the facility is accessable to the user through either the
menus at the top of the window or through the expandable tree structure on
the left side of the window. The user can expand or condense the tree to show
more or less information. The user may also double-click items in the tree
description to launch the appropriate viewer for that information.
Basic Description
Each facility has basic information, such as its full name, location, and
operator.
General Information
Some of the facilities contain generic information about the type of plant.
For example, the west560 facility has a few pages about pressurized water reactors.
An audio file is also available for some plants.
Specific Information
Some of the facilities contain specific information about the plant. For
example, the west560 facility has a few pages concerning the particulars of
its construction. An audio file is also available for some plants.
Animation
Most facilities have a rendered animation, to give the user a better feel
of what the facility looks like. These animations were created using the
geometry model of the plant. Textures for the different building materials
were added to the base model to give more realism. Terrain based on real
photographs were also added.
Notice for Windows XP Users
With the September 2002 update to Windows XP (known as Service Pack 1),
Microsoft suspended distribution of the Indeo codecs as a base part of
its operating system. In order to meet the needs of those who use
Windows XP and require Indeo codecs, Ligos created a special version of
Indeo Video 5 called Indeo XP for Windows (also know as Indeo Video
version 5.2).
Although Indeo XP was previously only available for Windows XP, it has
now been made available for all Windows OSes from Windows 95 to Windows
XP, and is the only version available through Ligos.
"Indeo XP for Windows" can be purchased from Ligos through their
electronic store for $14.95.

If the texturized movies do not work on your Windows XP SP1 system,
you may wish to purchase the above program.
Still Shots
For each facility, a few image files were created from its rendered animation.
