Area of Science:

Health Physics
Virtual Reality Technology
Radiation Safety Training

Background:

Traditional radiation safety training methods may lack interactivity and engagement.
The need for advanced simulation tools to enhance practical understanding of radiation exposure and ALARA principles is growing.
Virtual reality (VR) offers a promising platform for immersive and interactive training experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a VR-based software package, VR Dose Simulator, for radiation safety and ALARA training.
To create an interactive virtual environment simulating a nuclear power plant for realistic training scenarios.
To assess the effectiveness of VR simulations in improving radiation worker training quality.

Main Methods:

Development of the VR Dose Simulator software using EON Studio and pre-calculated effective dose equivalent (EDE) database.
Construction of a 3-D virtual nuclear power plant environment with controllable avatars and collision detection.
Implementation of real-time accumulative dose calculation linked to avatar location and specified radiation sources (Cs, Co).
User performance evaluation based on accumulated dose and task completion within the virtual environment.

Main Results:

The VR Dose Simulator successfully created an interactive virtual radiation environment for training.
The software provides real-time dose calculation and performance scoring, enhancing user engagement.
The study demonstrated the potential of VR simulation for improving radiation safety training quality.

Conclusions:

VR-based simulation technologies are interactive and engaging, offering a valuable tool for radiation safety training.
Further development is needed to address challenges in data conversion, avatar realism, software integration, and EDE data utilization.
The VR Dose Simulator shows promise for enhancing radiation worker competency and adherence to ALARA principles.
