Humans can’t safely enter. Robots can’t navigate the rubble. Drones fly above both problems.
Fukushima Today: Ongoing Monitoring
12+ years after the 2011 triple meltdown, Fukushima Daiichi’s decommissioning requires constant radiation monitoring. Drones equipped with CZT gamma spectrometers map radiation levels across the exclusion zone, identifying hotspots without exposing workers.
Chernobyl and Active Facilities
Chernobyl’s New Safe Confinement requires regular external radiation monitoring. Active nuclear plants (UAE’s Barakah, Korea’s Kori, France’s fleet) use inspection drones for containment structure assessment.
CBRN-CADS APE-600 Sensor Module
The APE-600 (Autonomous Protocol Engine) integrates radiological detection directly into the decontamination decision loop. Mode D operation prioritizes dry particle capture for radiological contaminants — the exact scenario at nuclear facilities where water-based decon would spread contamination.
CBRN-CADS Integration Point
This special-purpose UAM category directly intersects with CBRN-CADS capabilities. The BLIS-D engine’s 4-mode hybrid decontamination and D-M-D-A-V autonomous pipeline are purpose-built for these operational environments.
