Abstract

The SMARP, a 3D ALARA planning tool, is developed to improve the efficiency of nuclear installation operations and reduce the radiation exposure of radiation practitioners. The tool is an integration of multiple technologies, including virtual reality, 3D model reconstruction, radiation monitoring, radiation field calculation and visualisation. Based on the radiation field, it allows a dose assessment by integrating radiological information with 3D models of the actual environments. This paper will address some of the key techniques and applications of the tool.
