Tools for remote radiation sensing are essential for environmental safety and nuclear power applications. The use of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) equipped with sensors allows for substantially reducing the radiation exposure of personnel. An ambient temperature Cs₂LiYCl₆:Ce³⁺ (CLYC) elpasolite scintillation sensor for simultaneous gamma and neutron measurements was designed as a user-friendly “plug and fly” module integrated into an octocopter robotic platform. Robot Operating System (ROS) was used to analyze the sensor’s data. The measured CLYC’s energy resolution was <5% at 662 keV gamma rays; neutron flux was measured using ⁶Li(n,α)t reaction. Time and GPS data were combined with radiation data in the ROS, supporting real time monitoring and assessment tasks, as well as radiation source search missions. Because UASs can be irradiated, radiation damage of the sensor and robot’s electronics was estimated using FLUKA code.

用于远程伽玛和中子监测的无人机系统集成传感器

远程辐射感测工具对于环境安全和核电应用至关重要。使用配备传感器的无人机系统（UAS）可以大大减少人员的辐射暴露。设计了用于同时进行伽马和中子测量的环境温度Cs ₂ LiYCl ₆：Ce ³⁺（CLYC）锂辉石闪烁传感器，作为集成在八旋翼机器人平台中的用户友好型“即插即用”模块。机器人操作系统（ROS）用于分析传感器的数据。在662 keV伽马射线下，测得的CLYC的能量分辨率小于5％。用⁶ Li（n，α）t测量中子通量反应。时间和GPS数据与ROS中的辐射数据结合在一起，支持实时监视和评估任务以及辐射源搜索任务。因为可以辐射UAS，所以使用FLUKA代码估算了传感器和机器人电子设备的辐射损坏。
