RESUMO

Nuclear energy is crucial for achieving net-zero carbon emissions. A big challenge in the nuclear sector is ensuring the safety of radiation workers and the environment, while being cost-effective. Workplace monitoring is key to protecting workers from risks of ionising radiation. Traditional monitoring involves radiological surveillance via installed radiation monitors, continuously recording measurements like radiation fields and airborne particulate radioactivity concentrations, especially where sudden radiation changes could significantly impact workers. However, this approach struggles to detect incremental changes over a long period of time in the radiological measurements of the facility. To address this limitation, we propose abstracting a nuclear facility as a complex system. We then quantify the information complexity of the facility's radiological measurements using an entropic metric. Our findings indicate that the inferences and interpretations from our abstraction have a firm basis for interpretation and can enhance current workplace monitoring systems. We suggest the implementation of a radiological complexity-based alarm system to complement existing radiation level-based systems. The abstraction synthesized here is independent of the type of nuclear facility, and hence is a general approach to workplace monitoring at a nuclear facility.

RESUMO

Sheltering is one of the important protective actions as a part of emergency response during the early phases of an accident-mostly precautionary in nature. Sheltering via structural shielding reduces the direct exposure from plume/cloud shine and ground shine doses as well as the airborne radioactivity concentration and hence inhalation dose. The present study was aimed at estimating the shielding factor in the case of Indian houses for external exposure pathways using the FLUKA Monte Carlo based radiation transport code. Furthermore, the dose reduction factor due to exposure from the inhalation pathway was estimated using an indoor aerosol model. These factors were assessed for the three major types of dwellings, and they provided important inputs for decision-making for sheltering or evacuation in case of any sudden release of radionuclides into the environment.
