Problems solved by technology

For example, a failure at a nuclear power plant or storage facility can cause a rapid increase in radiation levels at the location of the failure
[0002] While large-scale failures may be apparent to persons near the location of the failure, small-scale failures, such as cracks in containers filled with radioactive material, may be less obvious and thus may go unnoticed for some time

Embodiment Construction

[0058] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a radiation detection device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The radiation detection device 10 may be arranged to detect point sources of radiation on a target surface, such as the ground.

[0059] The radiation detection device 10 is provided in physical association with an unmanned vehicle 12 . For example, radiation detection device 10 may be mounted above or below unmanned vehicle 12 or otherwise physically connected to unmanned vehicle 12 . It is preferred that the radiation detection means be physically located within 1 m of a point on the outer surface of the unmanned vehicle 12, and preferably within 0.5 m, so as to provide a reasonably small overall envelope.

[0060] The radiation detection device 10 includes a data processor 14, which may be any suitable data processor, such as a microprocessor or microcontroller; for example a RaspberryPi(TM), Arduino(TM) or Beagleboard(TM). In some embodiments, d...

Abstract

A radiation detection device (10) comprising a data processor (14) arranged to be communicatively coupled to a position sensor (16) mounted on an unmanned vehicle and a solid state radiation sensor (18) mounted on the unmanned vehicle. The data processor is configured to receive position data from the position sensor, receive radiation data from the solid state radiation sensor and periodically associate the position data with radiation data to form combined data.

Description

Background technique [0001] The level of radiation present in a place can change without warning. For example, a failure at a nuclear power plant or storage facility can cause a rapid increase in radiation levels at the location of the failure. [0002] While large-scale failures may be apparent to persons near the location of the failure, small-scale failures, such as cracks in containers filled with radioactive material, may be less obvious and thus may go unnoticed for a period of time. [0003] Likewise, there are situations where radiation levels in one location can gradually increase over time; for example, in pipelines used for crude oil extraction. This is commonly referred to as naturally occurring radioactive material / matter (NORM). [0004] Such formations at radioactive sites can be life threatening to persons in the vicinity of the radioactive site, especially if a person is unknowingly exposed to radiation for a prolonged period of time.
