[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A final briefing session was held on the 22nd to establish a smart radiation disaster prevention command and control system in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, in preparation for potential radiation accidents.

This system enables efficient command and control by integrating ICT technology into the existing disaster prevention infrastructure to facilitate organic communication between the disaster response headquarters and the field in the event of a radiation disaster caused by a nuclear power plant accident. The county officially launched the project in March.

The briefing session was attended by about 40 people, including Lee Seon-ho, the governor of Ulju-gun, related organizations such as the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation, as well as local government officials and companies.

The system integrates various functions into a single platform for integrated operation at the disaster response headquarters situation room, including evacuee management, voice alerts, mobile disaster text message transmission, electronic display disaster text message transmission, emergency alarm broadcasting, wireless control of the response headquarters, wireless control of field responders, transport vehicle tracking, radiation impact assessment, integrated control of drones and CCTV, spatial big data management, and artificial intelligence safety navigation.

In the future, the system plans to be advanced into a smart disaster prevention system that collects, analyzes, and controls all county-wide information in real time by converging with systems from other fields such as all disasters and management of safety-vulnerable groups, not limited to radiation disasters.

Governor Lee Seon-ho said, “To make optimal situational judgments that can safely protect residents during various disasters in Ulju-gun, which is 1.2 times the size of Seoul, it is necessary to advance the use of ICT technology.”
