An internet of radiation sensor system (IoRSS) to detect radioactive sources out of regulatory control

Abstract: A radioactive source that is not under regulatory control, either because it has never been under regulatory control or because it has been abandoned, lost, misplaced, stolen, or otherwise transferred without proper authorization, is considered an orphan source. Orphan sources are usually gathered as scrap metal because of their heavy metallic containers. Melting an orphan source with scrap metal produces contaminated recycled metal and waste; the consequences will be extremely serious for humans and the envir… Show more

“…Article searches were carried out after the search method and inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined. As a result, five results were obtained from Google Scholar [101][102][103][104][105], three results were obtained from the Scopus database [102,106,107], and one result was obtained from the Web of Science database [108]. The other searched databases found no results related to the research subject.…”

“…It is essential to equip the collection facilities with manual detectors for checking received material. In addition, it is necessary to train the staff so that they can visually recognize potentially dangerous material during subsequent activities among the scrap already received, which will prevent further contact with the SIR [11]. The documentation for the event of an emergency must be located directly at the workplace and the staff must be familiar with the contingency procedures, which should be incorporated directly into the approved documentation for the operation of the facility.…”

“…Dangerous orphan SIR, potentially present in scrap metal, can be divided into several groups according to the original purpose of use as follows [11]: Between 2017 and 2021, over 180 emergency events related to the handling of SIR were investigated in the Czech Republic by the State Office for Nuclear Safety [28]. These included:…”

“…For the concept demonstration, multiple nodes could be seen over a web connection with a 20,000 bits/s CloudMQTT schedule, and the network was checked with typical radiation device preamplifier 109A equipment from the ORTEC company. As a result, the architecture can be scaled to create a highly effective large-scale data multisensor system [32].…”
