Centralized detection of radiation in multiple facilities

摘要

A central system of monitoring radiation levels in a plurality of facilities at the same time is disclosed. The system may include radiation detection systems, at least one processor to process monitoring data generated by the radiation detection systems to compensate for naturally occurring radiation, and a central monitoring station capable of generating an alarm at the central monitoring station and at a facility where an undesired radiation level has been detected. A method of monitoring radiation levels in production facilities is also disclosed. The method may include providing a plurality of radiation detection systems, providing a central monitor in communication with the radiation detection systems, communicating data from the radiation detection systems to the central monitor, and analyzing the data to detect potential radioactive materials.

1. A central system of monitoring radiation levels in a plurality of facilities at the same time comprising:
a plurality of radiation detection systems capable of detecting radiation levels in recycled material positioned at a plurality of locations through a network of facilities, at least one processor to process monitoring data generated by each of the plurality of radiation detection system to compensate for naturally occurring radiation and communicating compensated radiation levels, a central monitoring station capable of receiving data from the processor and identifying radioactive material in the recycled material at each radiation detection system, and the central monitoring station capable of generating an alarm at the central monitoring station and at the facility involved where an undesired radiation level has been recorded by at least one radiation detection system.
