Radiation image display on a simple virtual reality system

Sato, Yuki  ; Ozawa, Shingo*; Tanifuji, Yuta ; Torii, Tatsuo  

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc., went into meltdown after the large tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. Radiation distribution measurements inside the buildings of the FDNPS are indispensable to execute the decommission tasks because the information would be important to predict risk to workers and to decrease the amount of radiation exposure. In this work, we developed a simple virtual reality (VR) system that can perceive the radioactive substances in the virtual space reproducing working environments. The VR was developed with Unity 5.6 which is a game development engine. The developed VR will be experienced using a smartphone and a cardboard goggle. The advantage of using smartphones is that it has a gyro sensor, which users can use to look over the VR space. In addition, it is owned by many users. The VR system is expected to be useful for preliminary training of workers and recognition of radioactive hot spots in the decommissioning work environment.
