Technical development
for disaster prevention |
| Technical development is implemented for the efficient
implementation of activities for disaster prevention. |
| •System
for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information (SPEEDI) |
When large amounts
of radioactive materials are emitted from nuclear facilities, Nuclear
Safety Technology Center operates the Network System for Prediction
of Environmental Emergency Dose Information (SPEEDI Network System)
so as to predict the air concentration/dose of radioactive materials
in the surrounding environment, in consideration of geographical
and meteorological conditions based on information on the regions
where radioactive materials are emitted.
In the event of an emergency, information which is obtained by calculation
and prediction with the SPEEDI Network System is promptly presented
to MEXT, METI, NSC and local governments through the network. |
| •Worldwide
Version of System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose
Information (W.SPEEDI) |
The Japan Atomic
Energy Research Institute develops the Worldwide Version of System
for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information (SPEEDI)
in order to respond to the nuclear accidents of the world.

| •Airborne
surveys of radiation |
| The Nuclear Safety
Technology Center is developing airborne monitoring systems with
the use of helicopters for monitoring radiation in the event of
a nuclear disaster. Airborne monitoring is effective in monitoring
wide areas quickly, and is implemented in the following two stages: |
| 1st
stage monitoring |
Intended for comprehending
the extent of the spread of radioactive materials (rapid airborne
survey system) |
| 2nd stage
monitoring |
Intended for comprehending
the conditions of contamination in detail after the emit of radiation
is ceased (detailed airborne survey system). |
| •Development
of robots for disaster prevention |
Japan Atomic Energy Agency
and the Nuclear Safety Technology Center
are developing robots which are designed to collect information
by remote control on radiation dosage at the accident site in the
event of a nuclear disaster. Use of robots for collecting information
reduces workers' exposure to radiation and enables quick and appropriate
response.
