A Cost-Efficient Radiation Monitoring System for Nuclear Sites: Designing and Implementation

Abstract

Radiation monitoring is essential for examining and refraining the unwanted situations in the vicinity of nuclear plants as high levels of radiation are quite dangerous for human beings. Meanwhile, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are proved to be an auspicious candidate to address that issue. Actually, WSNs are pretty beneficial to monitor an area with the aim of avoiding undesirable situations. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a cost-efficient radiation and the temperature monitoring system. We have used ZigBee to develop the sensor nodes, and the sensor nodes are instilled with the radiation and the temperature sensors. In addition, the Geiger Muller Tube (GM Tube), which is usually a reliable detector to monitor nuclear sites, is used to monitor the radiations. The designed system consists of two sensor nodes and the main node. The experimental results validate the designed system, where the communication between the nodes and the main node along with the inter-nodal communication are examined in order to ensure the smooth-running operation of the designed system.

“…Currently, the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology with exoskeleton hand technology provides exciting possibilities for personalized and interconnected assistive solutions [46]. Further references on IoT-based applications can be found in [47]- [49]. By incorporating IoT, remote monitoring and tele-rehabilitation become feasible, enabling healthcare professionals to access data, monitor progress, and adjust therapy in real time.…”

Design of a Nuclear Monitoring System Based on a Multi-Sensor Network and Artificial Intelligence Algorithm

“…However, new designs of detectors, applications, and software have been developed and studied by many researchers to improve performance and shortcomings in the field of radiation-monitoring systems. Representatively, many studies on wireless-based monitoring systems have been conducted to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure [16][17][18][19].…”
