Design and development of low-cost wireless parameter monitoring system for nuclear power plant

Abstract

Safety is of utmost importance in any nuclear power plant, as even minor accidents may pose huge danger due to radiation leakage. The paper highlights the need of radiation leakage monitoring for nuclear power plant. Whenever radioactive radiations would increase beyond the safety level, alarms would indicate it. Thus, it will help to take safety measures before leading to serious problems. The system comprises of radiation sensor, fire sensors, and temperature sensors to detect any possibility of leakage and fire. XBee is used as communication media for the system. All the information is collected at a control room and analyzed through LabVIEW.
