Abstract

The article presents a proposal to improve the system of radioactive monitoring in the territory of St. Petersburg using an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a radiation detector. This radiation remote sensing device is essential to ensure environmental safety. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with sensors will make it possible to effectively obtain data on the radioactive contamination of the earth's surface and airspace. An un-manned aerial vehicle with a radiation sensor will allow you to receive data in real time. In the event of a potentially hazardous situation, this device will measure fluctuations in the dose rate distribution on the ground and can be used for radiation monitoring. For this purpose, an improved mobile radiation monitoring system has been created. The system consists of models whose functionality allows you to measure dose rates and create radiation pollution maps without the need for human personnel to be present at the measurement site. The convenience of the radiation monitoring system is the rapid deployment of unmanned monitoring devices to reduce the radiation burden on the population. The system can be used in any place where a source of ionizing radiation may be present. Before this system can be used in real-world conditions, its components are calibrated based on certified measuring equipment and state-of-the-art modelling tools.

Highlights

  • State control of radiation situation on the territory of the Russian Federation is carried out in order to detect changes in the radiation situation, assess, predict and prevent potential negative consequences of radiation exposure for the population and the environment

  • - develop elements of a radiation monitoring system with the possibility of set-ting up stationary posts, and the possibility of mobile monitoring; development of facility and territorial systems of radiation monitoring (OSMRE) that use modern design to assess the level of radioactive contamination of the environment and meet the modern requirements of legal norms of national and international security

  • In the course of the study, the main scientific results of the work were obtained: Elements of an information and measurement system for monitoring the radiation situation have been developed with the possibility of setting up stationary posts, and the possibility of independent mobile monitoring using UAVs; Designed object, and territorial monitoring system radiation environment (OTMSRE) that use modern design to assess the level of radioactive contamination of the environment and meet the modern requirements of legal norms of national and international security

Summary

Introduction

State control of radiation situation on the territory of the Russian Federation is carried out in order to detect changes in the radiation situation, assess, predict and prevent potential negative consequences of radiation exposure for the population and the environment. To control the radiation situation, the environmental community and the State are creating radiation monitoring systems. It is used for a systematic presentation of relevant operational information to the public authorities controlling the use of atomic energy, government regulation of safety in use of atomic energy, organizations to take the necessary measures to prevent or reduce radiation exposure. The state carries out monitoring through an automated system for monitoring the radiation situation (ASMRS). Automated system for monitoring the radiation situation in its current form solves only part of the task – it measures the power of the so-called ambient equivalent of the dose of external gamma radiation in the air, but it does not record the presence of alpha and beta emitters, as well as the composition of radioactive substances that can enter the environment.
