The Development of Wireless Radiation Dose Monitoring Using Smart Phone

Radiation workers at a nuclear facility or radiation working area should hold personal dosimeters. Some types of dosimeters have functions to generate audible or visible alarms to radiation workers. However, such devices used in radiation fields these days have no functions to communicate with other equipment or the responsible personnel. Our project aims at the development of a remote wireless radiation dose monitoring system that can be utilized to monitor the radiation dose for radiation workers and to notify the radiation protection manager of the dose information in real time. We use a commercial survey meter for personal radiation measurement and a smart phone for a mobile wireless communication tool and a Beacon for position detection of radiation workers using Bluetooth communication. In this report, the developed wireless dose monitoring of cellular phone is introduced.
