ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a general structure and underlying principles for creating an Internet-of-Drone-based multi-version post-severe nuclear power plants (NPPs) accident monitoring system. Reliability block diagrams for the system and its subsystems are built based on considerations of different variants of sensor, communication, and decision-making systems. NPPs play a significant role in ensuring the energy independence for many countries, as it is one of the most powerful and clean energy sources available. After the Fukushima accident, the implementation of a reliable and survivable post-accident monitoring system has become a priority requirement within the national and international regulatory bodies. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles provides several advantages to the critical monitoring of accidents.
