Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a nuclear accident emergency rescue simulation training technology, specifically a nuclear accident emergency rescue UAV aerial monitoring simulation training system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear safety is the prerequisite for the development of nuclear energy, and nuclear emergency response is the last line of defense in the nuclear safety defense-in-depth system.

[0003] Nuclear emergency response mainly refers to a series of rescue and response measures taken after a serious accident at a nuclear facility. The purpose is to minimize the radiation consequences and social impact of the nuclear accident, and to reduce the radiation hazards and psychological trauma to personnel and the environment. These measures include radiation monitoring, radiation protection, meteorological monitoring, decontamination, and psychological and medical assistance.

[0004] When a nuclear power plant releases, or may release, a large amount of radioactive material into the environment, and the consequences extend beyond the site boundaries, potentially posing a serious threat to public health and environmental safety, an off-site emergency response will be initiated, activating a Level I response. Relevant departments will organize and coordinate national and local radiation monitoring resources to conduct radioactive monitoring of the environment (including air, land, water, atmosphere, crops, food, and drinking water) in areas already affected or potentially affected by nuclear radiation. Nuclear emergency aerial monitoring is a crucial monitoring technique in this context.

[0005] However, due to the low probability of serious accidents at nuclear power plants and the lack of practical experience in conducting nuclear emergency aerial monitoring, it is difficult to master rescue skills through actual nuclear emergency response operations, and it is also difficult to ensure the effectiveness of actual emergency monitoring solely by relying on theoretical knowledge. Therefore, developing a simulation training system that can effectively improve nuclear accident emergency aerial monitoring and rescue skills is of great significance for serious nuclear facility accidents.

[0006] Existing nuclear emergency simulation training generally adopts a simulation format, with trainees training on a virtual system. Because all operations are conducted entirely within a simulation, the training process is severely detached from reality, especially for parts requiring hands-on practice. This makes it impossible to effectively train trainees, and in the event of a real nuclear accident and radiation contamination, there is a risk that emergency rescue equipment and teams may not be able to effectively perform emergency aerial monitoring. If a real-world training method were used, firstly, the release of radioactive material itself constitutes radiation contamination, and it is impossible to actually simulate a radioactive release during drills; secondly, nuclear accident emergency aerial monitoring equipment, including aircraft and airborne equipment, is extremely expensive, making training directly based on real equipment prohibitively costly.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simulation training system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial monitoring in nuclear accident emergency response, to train monitoring teams, improve the quality of monitoring personnel, enhance nuclear accident emergency response capabilities, and reduce training costs.
