The accident at the nuclear power plant (NPP) in Fukushima showed that the use of monitoring systems based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) made it possible to assess the consequences of the accident and conduct post-accident monitoring of the NPP infrastructure and the surrounding area. However, the deployment of such a monitoring system was carried out after the accident, when there were no other opportunities to obtain information. In addition, the process of creating and deploying such systems, which are unique, are designed to monitor a specific site. The spread of the use of UAVs in various fields shows that they can be used as flexible services to perform various tasks in an autonomous mode, which requires the introduction of means for their intellectualization. One of the areas of development of nuclear energy is small modular reactors (SMRs) and the use of UAVs as part of SMR infrastructure monitoring systems will allow solving a wide range of problems. The subject of the article is the process of forming monitoring systems based on UAVs. The purpose of the article is to propose an approach to improving the process of synthesis of intelligent monitoring systems for nuclear power facilities. Objective of the article: to propose a method for determining the structure and composition of multi-agent UAV-based monitoring systems (MA-UAV-MS) to perform various tasks taking into account the requirements and environmental conditions, for which to develop a conceptual model of the holonic MA-UAV- MS and a knowledge base in the form ontologies to derive the necessary knowledge during the synthesis of MA- UAVMS; give an example of using the proposed method for forming the MA-UAV-SM structure when performing SMR monitoring tasks (MA-UAV-SMR- MS), namely, monitoring as part of the SMR physical protection system. The following results of the work are obtained. A conceptual model of the holonic MA-UAV-SMR- MS has been developed and described. A method for determining the structure and composition of the MA-UAV-SMR-v has been developed and described. This takes into account the need to form a subsystem for performing tasks in the form of UAV holons and holons to ensure the long-term functioning of the MA-UAVSMR- MS. A version of the ontological knowledge base is developed and an example of its use is shown to obtain a list of UAVs and equipment necessary to perform tasks in certain conditions with specified requirements. Possible options for monitoring the physical security of the SMR infrastructure are considered and a model for the operation of MA-UAV-SMR- MS with periodic coverage of the restricted access zone is proposed, which allows us to determine the required number of UAVs and service stations. The further research is to develop a method for selecting and implementing the models necessary to determine the required number of UAVs in the MA-UAV-SMR- MS to ensure the specified reliability indicators for performing tasks.Downloads
