UAV’s To Map Out Radiation At Nuclear Power Plant In Japan

Remote Intelligence Survey Equipment for Radiation (RISER), the highly technical drone, developed by Blue Bear from Bedford would be capable of radiation mapping inside the contaminated reactor building of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan.

This drone uses laser-based obstacle avoidance technology so that it can fly autonomously deep into the nuclear plant where GPS signals can’t reach. These UAV’s uses Createc’s N-Visage radiation mapping software to create a high-definition 3D picture.

“We are thrilled to see RISER put to work in Japan, and delighted that our early support for the N-Visage system enabled Createc to develop its potential further,” said Prof Melanie Brownridge, the NDA’s head of technology.

Using UAV’s is the only best and safe way to map out radiation inside the chimneys.
