Ocean radiation monitoring systems (ORMSs) are an essential component in the radiation early warning network that monitors radiation exposure and estimates radioactive propagation induced by nuclear activities or nuclear accidents in the sea. Numerous systems have been developed and installed in the radiation warning network in different countries. However, there is not any similar product that has been studied and developed in Vietnam. This paper presents a complete process in designing and manufacturing a marine buoy integrated with a radiation sensor. The radiation detector can measure both dose rate and radiological spectrum. The ORMS also combines multimodal data transmission and various programmed software for data processing, signal transmission, and system control. Therefore, the proposed configuration system has potential application in terms of performance and maintenance.
