[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulsan City Ulju-gun is introducing and operating a dedicated aerial survey drone for environmental radiation safety management monitoring within the region.


The dedicated aerial survey drone for environmental radiation is an ultra-light flying device equipped with a radiation detector, capable of ▲locating missing crew members ▲identifying radioactive nuclides in unknown substances ▲creating radiation contamination distribution maps for specific areas ▲collecting real-time radiation dose measurements in areas difficult to access by land and in expected exposure zones.


Data measured by the drone is transmitted via short-range communication such as WiFi or Bluetooth, allowing the video and calibrated dose rate values to be checked on a PC and dedicated software (GeoRaMon).


Using LTE routers for long-distance communication, gamma energy spectra are transmitted in real time to the control program installed within Ulju-gun, and stored for integrated data management after flights.


Ulju-gun plans to use the dedicated drone to monitor environmental radiation around power plants and living environments during normal times, and in radiation emergency situations, to provide information for resident protection measures through rapid on-site access, situation information collection, radiation contamination measurement, and real-time video monitoring of resident evacuation.



A county official stated, “We expect to respond more actively to radiation leakage accidents by utilizing the newly introduced dedicated aerial survey drone for environmental radiation,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen a thorough environmental radiation safety management system so that residents can trust and feel safe.”
