Title:     Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Radiation Monitoring and Mapping

Abstract: Following the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant, the IAEA Physics Section has started to develop an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based system for radiation monitoring and mapping. The system is based on a small hexacopter that is equipped with  high-resolution GPS and a laser altimeter. It can carry cameras and different radiation detectors and provide real-time dose rate measurements as well as data for radiation mapping. One version of the system has been delivered to Fukushima Prefecture in July 2016 where it will be used to support the remediation effort. This talk is going to present the UAV-system as well as some results from locations in Argentina and Japan.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
