CIRP's "Dragon Realm" Series Advances Digital Upgrade of Radiation Protection for Nuclear Facilities

The Dragon Realm series is a digital radiation protection system product independently developed by CIRP (China Institute for Radiation Protection), refined over more than a decade of accumulation, based on the on-site radiation protection needs of nuclear facilities. It integrates radiation field visualization, real-time monitoring, and intelligent management and control, providing core technical support for the digital transformation of radiation protection in nuclear facilities. Dragon Realm One focuses on "seeing." It recreates the radiation environment of nuclear facilities in three-dimensional digital form, integrating scene roaming and operational simulation to make radiation risks perceivable and tangible, providing an intuitive basis for protection decision-making. Radiation field visualization: establishes a mapping relationship between dose rate and color in the radiation field, achieving 3D visualization of the radiation field. Simulation roaming: supports...

Russia to Conduct Comparative Measurements in Radiation Monitoring and Individual Dose Monitoring

In September, NIIEFA (D.V. Efremov Scientific Research Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus), a subsidiary of Rosatom, will jointly conduct comparative measurements in the fields of radiation monitoring (RM) and individual dose monitoring (IDM) with Ritverts JSC and the A.M. Nikiforov All-Russian Center for Emergency and Radiation Medicine. The work will be carried out under the supervision and support of experts from the D.I. Mendeleev All-Russian Research Institute for Metrology. The focus of these comparative measurements is to verify the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of measurement results obtained by different radiation safety monitoring methods and equipment. Through unified comparison, the performance of various instruments in workplace radiation level assessment, surface contamination monitoring, and individual exposure dose recording can be further confirmed, thereby enhancing the credibility of final radiation dose assessments.

Kazakh scholars call for integrated radioecological monitoring system in border regions amid Central Asian nuclear power development

As energy demand continues to grow in Central Asian countries, nuclear power is becoming an important direction in regional energy policy. Kazakhstan has decided to build its own nuclear power plant, while neighboring countries such as Uzbekistan are also advancing or preparing similar projects. Nuclear energy is regarded as a key option for ensuring electricity supply and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but its development cannot be limited to the construction of power plants alone. It must be accompanied by a comprehensive ecological and radiation safety assurance system, particularly in areas where cross-border impacts may exist. Although modern nuclear power plants are designed in accordance with strict international safety standards, environmental monitoring cannot be predicated on the probability of accidents. The impact of large industrial facilities on the surrounding environment requires...

Ukraine's Radon Association Receives EU-Assisted Equipment to Enhance Operational Reliability of IASRM Radiation Monitoring System

On August 4, 2026, the Ukrainian state non-profit company Radon Association received five modern support systems to enhance the uninterrupted operation capability of the Integrated Automated Radiation Monitoring System (IASRM). The project is financially supported by the European Union through the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine, pursuant to Agreement No. INSC/2023/442-610 signed on May 22, 2023. Under the contractual arrangements, the relevant equipment has been delivered to the regional branches of the Radon Association and the central production base branch, with installation completed at the designated facilities. The systems installed this time mainly include backup power supply equipment such as diesel generators, which can provide continuous power to IASRM equipment during main power interruptions or shutdowns, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the radiation monitoring system under abnormal power supply conditions.

South Korea Plans to Upgrade National Radiation Monitoring System to Address Impacts of Overseas Nuclear Facility Accidents

South Korea's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission is pushing to strengthen the national radiation monitoring system, bringing radioactive contamination of the domestic environment caused by potential overseas nuclear facility accidents into institutionalized regulatory scope. According to partial amendments to the Enforcement Decree and Enforcement Rules of the Atomic Energy Safety Act pre-announced on August 7, South Korea will incorporate radioactive contamination surveys into existing radiation environment surveys and environmental radioactivity monitoring and evaluation operations, entrusting the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety with the execution of related survey work. This institutional adjustment is a supporting measure following South Korea's revision of the Atomic Energy Safety Act in February this year, with the relevant law set to take effect on February 20, 2027. The core of the amendment lies in that when overseas...

Six radiation monitoring posts in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, resumed transmission on the morning of the 30th after being interrupted by power outages caused by the earthquake

Radiation monitoring stations in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, have resumed operations after data interruptions caused by the earthquake. On the morning of July 30, data transmission at all monitoring stations returned to normal. The initial cause of the malfunction is believed to be power outages resulting from the earthquake, and the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan will conduct further investigations into the matter. A total of six radiation monitoring stations are located in Kumamoto Prefecture, distributed across Kumamoto City, Uto City, and other areas, used for real-time measurement of radiation levels in the environment. Starting around 11 p.m. on July 28, data transmission from these stations was suddenly interrupted, making it impossible to assess local radiation levels. This situation drew significant attention from relevant authorities. According to the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan...
