Radiation Mapping in Post-Disaster Environments Using an Autonomous Helicopter

Abstract: Recent events have highlighted the need for unmanned remote sensing in dangerous areas, particularly where structures have collapsed or explosions have occurred, to limit hazards to first responders and increase their efficiency in planning response operations. In the case of the Fukushima nuclear reactor explosion, an unmanned helicopter capable of obtaining overhead images, gathering radiation measurements, and mapping both the structural and radiation content of the environment would have given the response… Show more

“…This landslide affected approximately 250 m of the highway, destroyed two houses, caused the evacuation of 10 others, and delayed the opening of the highway for several months [71]. as, soil erosion [59,60], landslides or rocky surfaces inventory [56,61], landslide detection [62], landslide dynamics and monitoring [57,[63][64][65][66][67], and natural disaster monitoring and evaluation [68,69]. A comprehensive review of remote sensing applications based on UAVs equipped with specific sensor-based technologies has been accomplished to varying degrees across a range of applications.…”

“…However, major technological acceleration within the field has been evident since the incident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) in March 2011 (Boudergui et al 2011;Cao et al 2015;Furutani et al, n.d.;Han and Chen 2014;Han et al 2013;MacFarlane et al 2014;Martin et al 2015;Sanada and Torii 2015;Towler, Krawiec, and Kochersberger 2012). Located off the eastern Japanese coast, the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resulting 15 m high tsunami (Simons et al 2011) destroyed the plants connection to the external power network and flooded the on-site back-up generators, leaving the reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) without adequate active cooling (Kurokawa, Ishibashi, and Oshima 2012;Povinec, Hirose, and Aoyama 2013).…”

“…The field of radiation monitoring can fall into two distinct categories: localization and mapping (Towler, Krawiec, and Kochersberger 2012). Localization (Jiang et al 2015;MacFarlane et al 2014;Pöllänen et al 2009;Towler, Krawiec, and Kochersberger 2012) is the identification of an individual radioactive source, whereas mapping (Furutani et al, n.d.;Jiang et al 2015;Martin et al 2015;Sanada and Torii 2015) is rarely concerned with the location of a single emitter, and instead seeks to represent the distribution of radiation throughout a predefined area.…”
