Wipe testing of sealed radiation sources using a radiation protection assistant robot

Paper MANAGEMENT OF SPENT SEALED RADIATION SOURCES

Spent or disused sealed radiation sources—no longer needed sources—may represent a risk of radiological accident or may be a target for criminal acts in countries where final disposal options are unavailable and where an increasing number of sources are being kept in extended storage. In developing countries, thousands of radium needles, teletherapy sources, oil well logging neutron sources, an...

Design and Development of Mobile Robot for Radiation Protection Assistance

A mobile Radiation Protection Assistant Robot (RPAR) has been designed to assist radiation workers in a hostile radiation environment. The RPAR comprises of a cubicle tri-wheeled platform and a four Degree of Freedom (4-DOF) serial type articulated robotic arm. The movement of the platform is controlled by two differential wheeled driving systems. The RPAR is helpful in radiation mapping, handl...
