Abstract

The radar method for remote detection at large distances of radiation pollution in the atmosphere and on the Earth’s surface is considered. The design of radar for determine of radioactive formations in the atmosphere and near the Earth surface is developed. In the developed radar for increase the efficiency of detection and identification of the composition of radioactive contaminants, the antennas are divided into transmitting and receiving. This allowed for the detection of radiation contamination microwave signal with a tunable wavelength. The fiber-optic communication system is used to transmit signals from receiving antennas. The results of investigations of radioactive pollution in the atmosphere are presented.

Highlights

  • The development of nuclear energy and enterprises that use technologies using radioactive elements increases the probability of radioactive contamination both in the atmosphere and on the surface of the Earth [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]

  • In the developed radar for increase the efficiency of detection and identification of the composition of radioactive contaminants, the antennas are divided into transmitting and receiving. This allowed for the detection of radiation contamination microwave signal with a tunable wavelength

  • The radioactive emissions into the atmosphere can move on the long distances from the them formation source [8,9,10,11,12,13,14]

Summary

Introduction

The development of nuclear energy and enterprises that use technologies using radioactive elements increases the probability of radioactive contamination both in the atmosphere and on the surface of the Earth [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. The low resolution of many methods used in these devices is made the difficulties during the detecting of the small radioactive contaminants. Such contaminants are often formed after the decay of the main source of pollution [27, 29,30,31,32,33,34]. It should be noted that the radar method of environmental monitoring is a direct measurement of the degree of ionization of a radioactive cloud (pollution level).
