On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, a special IER seminar was held, featuring Dr. SATO Yuki from the JAEA CLADS. Approximately 40 participants, including researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students from Fukushima University, attended the seminar both in person and online.
Dr. SATO Yuki presented the integrated Radiation Imaging System (iRIS), a system for visualizing the distribution of radioactive contamination in 3D. By using iRIS to visualize radioactive contamination within the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the system aims to reduce the radiation exposure of workers involved in the decommissioning process. Dr. Sato stated that by using iRIS, which integrates a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) device, Compton camera, and survey meter, field surveys can be conducted more efficiently to create 3D maps visualizing contaminated areas and dose rates.
After the presentation, there was a lively discussion with questions about how iRIS can be operated remotely, the type of locations it can measure, and whether it can measure through obstacles.
