RADAR
An ultra-versatile 3D ALARA planning tool
RADAR is a next-generation 3D dose assessment tool developed by SCK CEN. Designed to easily and accurately calculate dosing in changing and complex environments, RADAR helps map out projects and compare simulations and scenarios to determine the safest way of working and minimise costs.
-
Easy to use
Intuitive interface to create and alter environments, sources and scenarios quickly and easy.
-
Versatile
Calculate dose, train colleagues in VR, create digitals twins, study safety in labs, plan new nuclear construction, and much more.
-
Monte Carlo and point-kernel based calculations
Point-kernel based calculations for quick comparisons or Monte Carlo calculations for high accuracy.
-
Accurate
Human avatars let you meet radiation protection regulations while minimising the cost of operation.
RADAR workflow
1. Create 3D environment or import scan
Upload CAD files, 3D scans, or use inituitive tools to easily replicate any radiological working environment.
2. Define radiation source
Establish the source, size, and strength of the radiation.
3. Create scenarios and routes
Simulate technician routes and operations to calculate effective dose down to the second.
4. Simulation
Calculate and compare the effectiveness of different routes, shielding positions, and shielding materials.
5. Visualisation
A fully 3D dosemap shows radiation, hotspots, and shielding effects to help you choose the best approach.
Applications
-
Digital transformation
-
Dismantling of reactors
-
Waste classification
-
Shield design & optimisation
-
Training & education
Cases
-
Maintenance and upkeep in radioactive workplaces
When replacing or maintaining in equipment in complex spaces with limited visibility, RADAR can help determine the safest and most efficient way of work.
-
Radioactive waste management
RADAR helps determine optimal waste and glass mixture to ensure safe vitrification before the start of the project.
-
Decommissioning and dismantling
Create reliable and up-to-date information to support and protect your crew in the ever-changing environment of nuclear dismantling.
ANUBIS - the origins of RADAR
Initially conceptualised as part of the European ANUBIS project, RADAR began as a tool for decommissioning nuclear installations. However, the tool soon expanded in scope, and today RADAR is without a doubt the single most versatile ALARA tool available on the market. RADAR creators Pasquale Lombardo, PhD, and Mahmoud Abdelrahman, PhD, envisioned a modern ALARA tool that accurately calculates dosage in changing and complex environments, with a user-friendly interface and a versatile backend that can quickly evaluate multiple scenarios.
