Nuclear and Radiation Monitoring
Current Location:Home > Applications
Industry Status
Nuclear monitoring technology was born with the advent of nuclear weapons, and has developed and matured. At the beginning, it focused on the development of nuclear radiation monitoring technology, and later on, nuclear explosion monitoring technology also developed day by day. With the advancement of science and technology, especially the in-depth implementation of nuclear arms control (including the comprehensive ban on nuclear tests, nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament, etc.), the level of nuclear monitoring technology will get new development.
On March 5, 2021, the government work report proposed to formulate an action plan for peaking carbon emissions by 2030. Do a solid job in carbon peaking and carbon neutralization. Optimize industrial structure and energy structure. Promote the clean and efficient use of coal, vigorously develop new energy sources, and actively and orderly develop nuclear power under the premise of ensuring safety.
Therefore, it is necessary to construct a UAV-borne nuclear monitoring system. The radiation monitoring equipment mounted on the UAV is used to inspect the periphery of the nuclear power plant, and the unmanned ship is equipped with water body monitoring equipment to monitor water body samples. The data collected by each task system is transmitted through wireless devices or public networks, and then transmitted to the command hall. Data processing, analysis and results.
Market size
Although the safety of nuclear power plants is high, and the nuclear island (reactor) in nuclear power plants has four major safety barriers, nuclear waste and thermal pollution are still two major problems. Once an accident occurs, the consequences will be serious, so it becomes necessary to monitor a large area around the nuclear power plant. Coupled with the need for a large area around it for waste disposal and storage, the air monitoring of nuclear pollution has a large operating range. According to statistics from the China Nuclear Energy Industry Association, as of December 31, 2018, my country had 44 nuclear power units in commercial operation (excluding Taiwan), with a total installed capacity of 44.6 GW, and 11 nuclear power units under construction with a total installed capacity of 11 GW. GW. Nuclear power generation has great advantages in terms of technological maturity, economy, and sustainability. At the same time, compared with hydropower, photovoltaics, and wind power, it has the advantages of non-intermittent and less restricted by natural conditions. It can replace fossil energy on a large scale. of clean energy. It can be seen from the “National Medium and Long-Term Nuclear Power Development Plan” and the increasingly prominent environmental and safety issues that the next few decades will be a stage of great development for the nuclear emergency and daily monitoring market.
Solution
Large-scale environmental monitoring
Nuclear power plants are generally built in less populated areas, and drones can be used to conduct large-scale cruise monitoring of their surrounding environment.
Periodic Inspection of Nuclear Power Plants in Operation
The use of drones to conduct regular inspections of operating nuclear power plants can detect damaged parts early and ensure the safety and effectiveness of nuclear power equipment, thereby preventing problems before they happen.
Nuclear waste dump safety monitoring
Nuclear waste dumps are one of the causes of nuclear pollution. UAVs are used to regularly monitor the status of nuclear waste storage and make emergency treatment, which can effectively prevent accidents.
nuclear ore detection
As an efficient and clean energy, nuclear energy itself also needs the support of the mining industry. The use of UAVs equipped with radiation detectors for large-scale nuclear mine source detection can greatly improve the detection efficiency compared with manual detection.
