Regarding the detailed matters concerning emergency monitoring, outlined in the "Supplementary Reference Materials for Emergency Monitoring (Supplementary Reference Materials for Nuclear Disaster Preparedness Guidelines)," a new section on "Airborne monitoring using Unmanned Aircraft" has been added alongside the existing descriptions of airborne monitoring. Since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (1F) accident in 2011, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been advancing the development of radiation measurement technology using unmanned helicopters for radiation monitoring around the 1F site, as well as fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles and multi-copters. Currently, JAEA is progressing with the construction of various equipment and systems for emergency monitoring. This presentation will introduce the results of airborne monitoring conducted by JAEA thus far and the development of a radiation monitoring system using unmanned aircraft for future nuclear disaster prevention.
