Locating Radioactive Contamination using Crossbow Cricket Motes RadSurvey Systems, LLC February 11, 2005
Contaminated Locations • Facilities that created or stored nuclear material • Small amount can contaminate a large area • One facility was creating a plane powered by a nuclear engine • Nuclear power plants • Medical Facilities
Previous Location Methods • Area scanned with radiation sensor • Maximum and average were recorded • Measurements to key areas taken physically • Very time consuming • Chalk lines frequently made for measurements
System Components Radiation Level Radiation Sensor Gamma: 5087 Calculated Location Listener X: 1.5 Y: 2.4 RF and Ultrasound Signals PDA Beacon 1 Beacon 2
Operation Listener PDA Sensor Beacon Beacon
Visual Radiation Maps • Shows Before & After • Useful during removal Contour Map
