GSM Based Remote Ionized Radiation Monitoring System

Nuclear radiation and its effects is a major concern in the world from countries trying to develop the new technology and obsolete reactors that have the potential of leaking dangerous fumes on the health of their entire region. The need for ionized radiation monitoring system to act as an early warning system is essential for the safety of the region. Radiation levels that are not easily noticeable on short term bases might be damaging on long term effects. In this paper, we propose a remote ionized radiation monitoring system using the global system for mobile communication (GSM). Design considerations and implementation of the remote monitoring stations and interconnection to central station via the GSM network are included. The system will continuously measure ionized radiation, store data locally and in case of abnormality (level of radiation becomes greater than the preprogrammed alarm points) alarm messages will be automatically transmitted to the central station.
