[Global] Use of Drones in the RCA

[Wilcox, Michael]

We recently flew our drone for the first time in several years. It took awhile to get through some red tape but we got a 107 licensed individual to fly into a rad waste tank room for a boric acid inspection.

The station is now pretty stoked about future possibilities.

Beaver Valley is benchmarking the use of drones as an ALARA initiative.

Does your station use a drone to

  *   Perform Boric Acid Inspections
  *   Perform Snubber inspections
  *   Radiological surveys, If so can you provide an example
  *   Do you require training or an FAA license?
