R&D is developing in mutual fields of wireless sensors and networking technology by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to meet the nuclear application requirements. In term of voice communication and dosimeters are the most important applications. But for the near outlook wireless technology is designed to support ecological & equipment situation monitoring and safeguards applications. The nuclear industry expect that making four reactors to be deploying by the year 2030 will integrate the wireless sensing technologies in mutual in primary and secondary systems. WSN afford an effortless, cost-effective path to idleness lacking in compromising safety as one of the rudiments of nuclear instrumentation devise. It provides major savings in wiring costs which directly shrink the total nuclear facility cost, expand the possibility of other sensing points, make easy data collection for remote diagnostics and increase the radiation protection activates. Radiation monitoring at all nuclear amenities as nuclear power plant, research reactor, energy fabrication, etc shall be capable at all situations (typical operation, temporary and disaster). Our prototype can be use for indoors or outdoors low level ecological radiation monitoring, for nuclear reactor mass seepage control or for safeguard unattended monitoring systems depending on the exploitation area and the specific requirements. Three devise goals are recognized for the proposed WSN; first the wireless sensor node shall be capable to communicate with the sink node via a highly consistent and secure link. Second it shall provide small cost robust radiation monitoring scheme and finally it shall be in an optimized type to the operator simplifying the Human Machine Interface (HMI). This work is based on the ZigBee protocol that followed the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for WSN employing small data duty requirements but with high specifications. The ZigBee network is a small cost, self configuring and multi-hop mesh network with safety measures services based on a 128-bit AES algorithm added to the safety model provided by IEEE 802.15.4, which persuade its use in the nuclear amenities. 2 .SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE Constructing WSN design falls into the world of embedded system development which needs developing ecological for each hardware and code stages. The project of WSN adopts Peer to look communication within which a permanent link between two points is established. It represents the radiation device node example that act because the Zigbee finish Device (ZED) of the WSN. The Z consists of the RF module equipped with the radiation sensor; it senses the radiation levels within the close ecological and communicates the data gathered from the monitored field through the wireless link. the info is forwarded to remote point; wherever a ZigBee organizer or sink node (ZC) is interfaced to the computer within the management centre via serial device. A specially developed interface “Wireless knowledge Monitor” put in on the management centre computer processes the info and displays them to the operator. We have a tendency to keep the minimum doable size of the example whereas making certain all functions of sensing, calculation, and communication. the price of the example is around one hundred sixty $ per node that's terribly low compared to the moveable radiation detector that around 1500$ that allows wireless observance for radiation levels with low total bill .

3. SINK NODE The sink node uses he U connect high power ZigBee adaptor (ZA-H-E); which is based on TI CC2530 and CC2591 chips. The latest chip set provides complex features than older radios. The CC2530 supports ZigBee protocol during the Z-Stack tool chain provided by TI, ZigBee protocols provide mesh networking features and maintain IEEE 802.15.4 for wireless communication. CC2530 operates in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed radio frequency band with 16 channels. The ZA-H is equipped by SMA dipole omni directional antenna with a gain of 5 dBi, it is motorized by 2 AA batteries and is backed by the ZigBee PC comfort to control the building method of the ZigBee network. 4.END DEVICE NODE The ZED hardware stage is the radiation sensor is related to the RF module via UART interface. The RF module is U connect motes (ZM-H-E) that are based on the CC2530. The ZigBee unit is connected to omni directional antenna with enlarge of 2 dBi. The radiation sensor based on Geiger Muller as a glass tube with 11cm extent; the tube is filled with immobile gas between two electrodes partial at high voltage around 370V with a max count of 30000 cpm. The pulses composed by GMT are counted by a digital stage; the Arduino Uno board interfaced to the radiation board. The radiation sensor has involved in LCD display for diagnostic purposes by the facility maintenance team. The Arduino stage is the digital stage that allows including, the programming and wireless communication. Once the tube is powered, the Arduino microcontroller (ATmega328) receives the pulses on the interrupt pin; it counts the pulses and sends the radiation readings to the ZigBee module. The part in-turn sends the radiation readings to the sink node through wireless link. The prototype software development relays on the Arduino development ecological to parse the radiation dose in the Z stack packet format to the serial pins of the module to be sent over the air from the end device node to the sink node. 5.WIRELESS DATA MONITOR A monitor program is developed with Microsoft Visual Studio as a user interface for the operator, it reads all knowledge parsed on the connected serial pin of ZC and displays them on the user interface. Buttons to management and choose the needed COM port for communication area unit placed at the higher right corner. At the higher middle, a record for the radiation dose levels is displayed. At the left of the user interface, a box seems with Associate in Nursing alert message every time the radiation level exceeds the pre known levels as the visual half of the baleful system. The bottom box represents the monitored radiation raw knowledge levels on real time scale. Recording capability of the “Wireless knowledge Monitor” is provided for the raw date to guarantee flexibility of all the previous date for analysis and analysis. The visual and loud baleful system has six warning grades 6.GPS/GSM FOR THE DETECTION This combination of Associate in Nursing SGP sensible Probe, a GPS (Global Positioning System) locating device and a GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) transceiver provides users with a galore system for the observation of radiation over wider areas or once shipping sources. Probes could for instance be positioned close to sources to monitor gamma radiations, keep track of them on a map thanks to the GPS and retrieve measurements, probes location, alarm standing and different knowledge through the GSM network. Knowledge transfer can provide: Date and time of the transfer, System activity, movement, stand by, programmed wakeup, battery alarm, on/off standing, System positioning: latitude, meridian and altitude, Moving speed, System status: battery level, Alarm standing : OK, alarm issued Gamma radiation level The system is designed through a secure net interface with that the user will visualize the system’s GPS knowledge, location and route, modification the map, choose probes to be displayed, access recent knowledge records (up to two hundred measuring retrievals), export and import knowledge records in a appropriate format, etc

CONCLUSION: In this paper WSN’s based nuclear radiation detector was presented. The main aim of the paper is to provide a secure environment for the officials to monitor the nuclear radiations without the intervention of the human. Sensors are used to sense the radiations and its data is sent to the micro-controller which compares it with the reference data already feed in it and if the sensed radiations are above the reference a emergency note is sent to the mobile unit with the exact location of the sensor node and also a alarm is turned on. This would save the life of human monitoring the radiations.
