Remote fiber optic sensor for monitoring the radiological situation

Abstract

The necessity of remote monitoring the radiological situation in the different areas of nuclear power plants, adjacent territories, etc. is sustained. One of the most important conditions for this control is the duration of the system work (for ten or more years) without human intervention (only in a special case). It is noted that a feature of this environmental monitoring for the presence of radiation is the ability to transmit information over long distance in real time without distortion. And constant receipt of information about the value of the exposure dose in the sensor area is also important. In a case of using the system of a large number of sensors, there are no problems information processing, because it is contained in the optical signal. The design of the fiber optic communication line with using the fiber optic sensor is proposed. The measurement limits of the exposure dose of radiation are marked. The results of experimental researches of various fibers for using in these sensors are presented. The method of radiation control with their use is determined.

“Overcoming the Limits”. The first results of an interdisciplinary scientific project

“…Third world economies are growing. The living standards of developed and developing countries are getting closer, and this process of convergence must continue [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Without convergence, it is impossible to change the World System and solve the climate problem.…”

“…The most dynamic areas of development will be Medical, Additive, Nano, Bio, Robotics, Information and Cognitive technologies. This cluster of future technologies was named the MANBRIC-convergence [3,[8][9][10][11][12]. The sixth technological paradigm will introduce into our life a huge number of self-regulating systems, among which self-driving cars will be only a relatively small, albeit an important part of the new reality.…”

Ecological and chemical assessment of the status of water bodies in the Vologda region

“…-physical indicators characterizing the presence of organic substances (color, turbidity, transparency, pH, salinity, hardness, COD); -indicators of the chemical composition characterizing the physiological usefulness of water (the content of major cations and anions); -elements than can cause toxic effects in living organisms in case their concentrations exceed the threshold limit value (Си2+, Zn2+, Fetot, , M n2+, phenols, oil products, etc. ); -microbiological indicators (the amount of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms QMAFAnM (total microbial count TMC) in 1 ml, coliform bacteria (E. coli) (Total Coliforms) in 100 ml, Thermotolerant coliform bacteria (TCB) in 100 ml) [19].…”

Study of the impact of recultivated granite stone quarry dumps on the environment and agricultural land in the Leningrad region

“…According to the WHO, airborne particulate matter (PM2.5) is currently considered the best indicator of environmental impact. Longterm inhalation of air with a high content of particles with a diameter less than 2.5 μm with alveolar deposition in the human body leads to the progression of several diseases, which leads to a reduction in life expectancy by about 1 year on average [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58].…”
