Unmanned Aerial Measurement Systems for Monitoring the Environmental Area of NPP and TPP
摘要
This chapter investigates the utility of Unmanned Aerial Measurement Systems (UAMS) for environmental monitoring around nuclear and thermal power plants. UAMS offer improved safety, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness over traditional methods. The systems can be categorized by various factors, including the type of measurement signals, data collection methods, and the number of UAVs deployed. UAMS are crucial in analyzing harmful emissions and radiation, ensuring environmental and personnel safety. The study discusses UAMS’s role and future development, emphasizing its potential to enhance international and state environmental protection programs. The research includes case studies, such as the Chornobyl and Fukushima Daiichi NPP incidents, demonstrating UAVs’ pivotal role in remote monitoring and emergency response.
