Abstract

Radionuclide identification is an important task for nuclear safety and security aspects, especially to environmental radiation monitoring systems. This study aims to build an automatic radionuclide identification system that can be applied in environmental radiation monitoring stations. The gamma energy spectrum was obtained by varying radionuclide types, measurement time and source distance using a scintillation detector. The dataset was collected by converting gamma energy spectrum into images, data pre-processing by removing background noise and normalizing the gamma spectrum. Automatic identification is demonstrated as a development method based on convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, where the images come from gamma-ray spectrum in the form of photoelectric peak characteristic. Three CNN architectures are used to train the model, which are VGG-16, AlexNet and Xception. The performance of each model is evaluated using accuracy, precision and recall to find the appropriate architecture. The most optimum results are shown by VGG-16 with an accuracy of 97.72%, a precision of 97.75% and a recall of 97.71%. The models are critically reviewed and it is concluded that the developed models can be further implemented on embedded devices utilizing the tiny machine learning (TinyML) platform in environmental radiation monitoring systems.

Abstract

This study focuses on developing an intelligent radiation monitoring system capable of operating on a low-power single-board computer (Raspberry Pi) for deployment in remote monitoring stations within nuclear facility environments. The proposed system utilizes a radionuclide identification method based on tiny machine learning (TinyML) with a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture. The radionuclide dataset was acquired through measurements of standard radiation sources, with variations in distance, exposure time, and combinations of multiple sources-including Cs-137, Co-60, Cs-134, and Eu-152. The radiation intensity data from detector measurements were structured into a response matrix and subsequently converted into a grayscale image dataset for model training. Keras is used to design and train machine learning models, while Tensor Flow Lite is used to model size reduction. Experimental results demonstrate that the developed model achieves an accuracy of 99.338% for Keras model trained on computer and 84.568% after deployment on the Raspberry Pi. Furthermore, this study successfully designed and embedded the TinyML model into an environment radiation monitoring system at the PUSPIPTEK nuclear installation.
