The Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been developed methods for analyzing radiation measurements taken by a small multirotor UAV. In the conventional method, count rate was converted to the air dose rate using a simple parameter. Therefore, such a conversion of the air dose rate using the conventional method is difficult in an area where the distribution of air dose rate is heterogeneous, or the terrain is complex. The goal of this study was to apply the inverse radiation method, which is used in medical applications such as positron emission tomography, for environmental radiation measurement. Basic algorithm was established for conversion from count rate to air dose rate in considering of topographic data. The algorithm was applied to real radiation data obtained by a UAV, and its accuracy was evaluated by comparing that data with ground measurement data. As compared with conventional methods, our algorithm was demonstrated to achieve a more accurate estimation of the air dose rate on the ground.","PeriodicalId":20706,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Nuclear Science and Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82379564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An encapsulated Cf-252 source was set in front of the entrance of the duct to irradiate the neutron detector, and the dose along the duct was measured by the bubble detectors placed inside. The neutron dose was also calculated by the Monte Carlo codes, PHITS and MCNP5, using various nuclear data libraries, JENDL-4.0, ENDF/B-VII.1 and JEFF-3.1.

In the plasma control, plasma heating and diagnostic systems, radiation sensitive components such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) and CCD sensors are commonly used. Three-dimensional distributions of neutron and gamma-ray in the LHD experimental building have been calculated by Monte Carlo code MCNP6 with the nuclear data library of ENDF B-VII.1 to prove the precise information on the radiation field and to introduce a countermeasure to the radiation. The total neutron flux in the torus hall of LHD is ~109 n/cm2•s for the maximum neutron yield shot. The total neutron and gamma-ray fluxes in the basement are 1-2 order smaller than those in the torus hall, which is due to the streaming through penetrations in the floor concrete slab. The shielding design for the compact neutral particle analyzer (CNPA) is also carried out. It is found that 10% borated polyethylene thicker than 15 cm is necessary for the shield in all directions.","PeriodicalId":20706,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Nuclear Science and Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80578773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
