Application of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System in Nuclear Emergency Response

Against the backdrop of global energy structure transformation and nuclear technology innovation, the safe operation of nuclear power plants, especially the effectiveness of nuclear emergency response, has become a critical issue in nuclear energy applications. The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), as China’s independently developed global satellite navigation system, demonstrates significant potential in the field of nuclear emergency response. This paper first discusses the prospects of BDS applications in nuclear emergency response and proposes BDS-based technical solutions. Next, it analyzes the basic framework and key technologies of BDS applications in this field, including indoor-outdoor integrated positioning technology and dynamic path planning technology. Finally, specific implementation schemes for the BDS in nuclear emergency response are proposed to ensure rapid and accurate evacuation and resource allocation in emergency situations, minimizing the impact of nuclear accidents.
