Abstract

Even with the very low probability of events leading to leakage of radioactive particles outside the nuclear facility (<10-4 per reactor per year), R&D of systems that could mitigate the impact of these events cannot be neglected. For such a purpose, the RMS-00x radiation monitoring system could be used, which is a modular system covering the functionality of dose rate measurement, air sampling and radiation map creation without requiring the human personnel to be present at the measurement site. Before this system is used in real conditions, its components must be thoroughly calibrated, based on certified measurement equipment and state-of-art simulation tools. This article deals with the description of the RMS-00x sensor modules and demonstrates their functionality in combination with unmanned aerial vehicle. In addition, demonstration of the use of the developed technology was carried out as part of the regular emergency planning and preparedness of Nuclear Power Plant Jaslovské Bohunice (EBO) nuclear power plant on 26 October 2017.
