1 Post Fukushima Off Site Radiological Monitoring Enhancements January, 2015 Fuji Electric Corp. of America

2 Contents Background System Goals Radiation Sensor Considerations Communications Considerations Software Considerations Solution Benefits

3 Fuji Electric Corporate Profile Group Corp. Business Portfolio of America SOCIAL SYSTEM SOLUTION Smart community Distribution System Grid solutions and monitoring system Automated vending machines CORE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM Power Electronics Control Systems Circuits ENERGY SOLUTION INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM SOLUTION Motors / Generators Electric Furnaces High Capacity Rectifiers HV/General purpose inverters Thermal power generation Geothermal power generation Hydroelectric generation Nuclear power generation Radiation Monitoring System Since 1970 Fuji Electric Corp. of America has provided solutions to challenging customer situations

4 The Fukushima Daiichi Situation The Situation at Fukushima, a major earthquake on March 11, 2011 caused a 15 metre tsunami to strike the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on Japan's Tohoku coast, disabling the power supply and heat sinks; thereby triggering a nuclear accident. Thus resulting in the meltdown of three of the plant's six nuclear reactors. TEPCO was not prepared to provide reliable radiation exposure data in order to make critical decisions due to the fact that they were unable to make sense of the data for themselves. TEPCO, regulators at the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) and NSC and the government body promoting the nuclear power industry (METI), all failed to meet the most basic safety requirements, such as assessing the probability of damage, preparing for containing collateral damage from such a disaster, and developing evacuation plans

5 The Fukushima Daiichi Aftermath The Aftermath that Resulted was: FEAR Information Disorganization It was very difficult to obtain intelligible, coherent and credible understanding of the facts in the first weeks of the situation because there was no accurate, centralized, authoritative source of information. Loss of Control and Direction Government officials, news outlets, and the public were referencing contrasting pieces of information which led to much misinformation, misunderstanding, confusion, and rumors. Extended Response Area Expansion The restricted zone extended to 80 km (50 miles), exceeding the scope of the pre planned emergency response. Resulting in TEPCO, the Japanese government, and the nuclear industry suffering substantial reputation damage and lack of public confidence in the industry s emergency response capabilities no firm wants to be in this situation.

6 System Goals The overall enhanced monitoring solution is comprised of three parts: 1) Solid State radiation detector (and associated components) 2) Robust communications system Multichannel high capacity w/connectivity to devices 3) Web based GUI Software to interpret the data and provide real time data regarding off site radiological conditions Continuous Operation > 120 hours after primary power lost event. The system must be robust and capable of withstanding a broad range of credible external hazards, including seismic and hurricane class 3 conditions, snow, ice, high winds, salt air, varying temperature and relative humidity levels, and heavy rain fall. System must be capable of continuous operation in face of a Beyond Design Basis Event (BDBE) involving station black out and loss of regional power and communications infrastructure.

7 Key Points in Post Accident Protection of public. Scenarios Communications. Provide reliable data for decision makers.. Assessment of environment impacts and potential changes. Minimize exposure during accident & afterwards. Use of current technology. 7 Minimize & Eliminate Fear in Public

8 Key Concepts Connectivity Transmit Acquire Analyze Personnel, Sensors & Instruments Decision Makers

9 Technical Challenges Must operate without AC power in remote areas Transmit measurement data in realtime Environmental Monitoring Posts (>2500 units) were installed at elementary schools, kindergartens and public parks in the Fukushima area in 2011.

10 Radiation Sensor Considerations Minimum detectability and dynamic range 1 ur/hr to 10 R/hr Gamma Energy range from 80 kev to 1.3 MeV Low power consumption Environment housing with an IP66 rating wide operating temperature range ( 35 deg C to 60 deg C) Simple calibration check in field with DOT exempt level source Continuous operation > 120 hours after primary power loss event. Trending data for evaluations pre and post event.

11 Communications Considerations Need to be Robust and flexible to operate in emergency conditions. Ability to expand easily & quickly beyond design response area Automatic Network Data Management & Auto Doppler correction Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technologies introduced in military communications such as spatial multiplexing, transmit diversity, and beamforming are key components for robust communications. Connectivity to devices Transmission Security Encrypted signal 256 AES Environment housing with an IP66 rating wide operating temperature range ( 35 deg C to 60 deg C) System design to minimize communication failures > 120 hours after primary power loss event.

12 Software Considerations Open Architecture platform independent to minimizes cost Ability to handle wide array of sensors Adapts to existing infrastructure Real Time geolocation for mobile sites The System integrates data seamlessly from multiple type sensor data streams Provide intuitive actionable common operating picture for ease of understanding & situational awareness Ability to communicate 2 way VoIP Software proved & utilized in remote and austere environments.

13 Integrated Solution Benefits 1. Consolidated Information for Emergency Management Ability to review data quickly and understand field data and associated trends. Streamlined data flow from multiple sources (e.g., field, laboratory, metrological stations, dose model outputs). Automated reporting eliminates human error in calculations and transcription instead of phone in forms and paper reports 2. Shared understanding of the situation by on site and off site response organizations same data in common framework System design eliminates single point failure vulnerabilities. Redundant power supplies and data communication (radio, cell and/or satellite). Database and software housed off site in dedicated, secure, and highly available data center. 4. Reduction of technical resources in the field

14 Remote Monitoring and Emergency Facilities Field teams briefed to deploy data collection probes probes can be pre deployed based on wind direction and speed. Probes are quickly dropped from field team vehicles. Emergency facilities personnel monitor real time radiation measurements from probes. Data is transmitted back to the emergency facility for Dose assessment Data transmitted either by wireless system or via satellite communications.

15 Benefits of Enhancement Monitoring Solution One team providing unique solution for 21 st century monitoring System design to avoid failures due to power loss or communications failures Minimize human factor errors Ability to interface with existing systems and data streams. Data visualization and analysis tools to make sense of data. Easily expand system based on data and incorporate new information. Overall solution includes field team data including data outside zone Minimize technical resources in field by auto sending field team data.
