Further Development of Laser System for Design Verification Inside and Outside Nuclear Facilities

Through a European-Commission Support Program Task, the IAEA has successfully implemented a 3-Dimensional Laser Range Finder (3DLR) that has demonstrated the ability to accurately map the interiors of complex facilities, such as the Reprocessing Plant at Rokkasho, for the purpose of per-forming design information verification (DIV). The IAEA envisions the need for a similar laser based system to perform DIV activities outside and around complex nuclear facilities. A similar laser-based system has been developed and is capable of providing detailed design information for large complex facilities that have an array of buildings and features. In addition, the system has software that com-bines the highly accurate spatial data of this mobile ground based laser with satellite imagery and/or high-resolution digital photography. The result is a spatially accurate image that not only is useful for DIV but also for the training and preparation of Inspectors.
