Abstract
| With the aim of controlling the risk of releasing radioactive material together with ordinary waste, the Radiation Protection (RP) group at CERN is developing a fully automated network of wireless radiation sensors to provide remote and real- time monitoring of the radiation level of hundreds of waste containers located on the CERN sites. The system, based on the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, will be included in the existing CERN RP supervisory system, allowing online monitoring and continuous supervision. As proof of concept, a complete IoT architecture was successfully developed. A fully operational monitoring system was installed in a waste container equipped with eight wireless radiation sensors, which record and transmit the radiation measurements every hour to a dedicated custom server. |
