1,700 probes are distributed throughout Germany and permanently monitor the #Umweltradioaktivität. In this video we show you where the probes are, what the measurement results depend on and what can happen in the life of a probe ... You can see the exact measurement results here: https://odlinfo.bf
We operate a nationwide monitoring network for radioactivity in Germany. It is used for the constant monitoring of artificial and natural environmental radioactivity. If the values were to go up, our experts would notice it very quickly. The video shows how the measurement network works. More detail
Our radioactivity monitoring network is an early warning system and thus serves civil protection. To show how this works, we asked a colleague of ours on Civil Protection Day (21 September) what would happen if the monitoring network did not exist. More information about the monitoring network can
Our measuring network for the current natural radiation exposure (or local dose rate, ODL for short) is managed from six monitoring network nodes. In this video, we introduce you to our colleagues from the measuring network nodes in Berlin. More information is also available from https://odlinfo.bfs
After the end of the Cold War, the warning offices were gradually closed and the radioactivity measurement network was transferred to the Federal Office for Radiation Protection. In the video, we explain what changes this has meant. More information about the monitoring network can be found on http
Our nationwide monitoring network for radioactivity has its roots in the so-called warning offices. During the Cold War in Germany - i.e. during the conflict between East and West after the Second World War - they were responsible for warning the population in the event of an attack with NBC weapons
