Liquid Radioactive Waste and Mixtures Radiation and Chemical Monitoring Automation

A.P. Poljanskii, M.G. Zhabitskii

Abstract


Nuclear facilities require continuous and accurate radiation and chemical monitoring for liquid radioactive waste and liquid radioactive media. Classical laboratory testing methods allow for highly accurate measurement of the test medium. But they require significant time delays associated with sampling, sample preparation, and subsequent measurements. This creates an information gap between the actual and measurable states of the environment. In addition, many chemical and phase-dispersed parameters undergo changes associated with oxidation and sludge deposition.

This paper presents an approach to the construction of systematic automated radiation and chemical control of liquid radioactive waste and media. It includes regular streaming raw data collection, transmission, long-term storage, and the potential for processing and analysis for rapid response during operation and systematic post-processing. The proposed system is designed for diagnostic analysis of the environment. It does not control technological processes. The main attention is paid to the data architecture that ensures the isolation of modules for collecting, transmitting and storing information, as well as compliance with information and functional security requirements. The proposed concept will make it possible to use the accumulated historical measurement data in existing and designed control and analysis systems. The results of the work can be used in the creation and improvement of current radiation monitoring systems at nuclear facilities.
