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
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
The Roman Empire benefited from an extensive road network. Transport routes emerged throughout the empire. Especially the many legionaries from the individual provinces had to serve as construction workers. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Gruppe 5/ Susanne Utzt, Cristina Trebbi/ Jens Boeck, Dieter Stürmer / Fa
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

The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is one of, if not arguably the most advanced Internet censorship systems in the world. Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn’t allowed falls upon the censorship measurem
Being able to make phone calls anywhere and at any time has now become a matter of course. Mobile communications are now part of our everyday lives. But how does mobile communications work? How does it affect humans? How can we protect ourselves from the effects of mobile communications? The video
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
WhiteDate is a platform of white supremacists aimed at racists and anti-Semites – and is based on outdated infrastructure. What the 8,000 members didn't know was that some of the Nazis flirted with realistic-looking chatbots this year - and even fell in love with them. Using a combination of automat
Anyone who wants to send and receive Bitcoins, a digital currency, needs a cryptocurrency wallet. Every wallet has a private key in the form of a numeric code that automatically signs transactions. Every transaction is recorded by every computer in the network in an encrypted data block and added to
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
With the monitoring network for the monitoring of the local dose rate (ODL), the BfS monitors the natural radiation exposure in Germany at around 1,800 measuring points. In the video, Frank Weiler explains how the measuring network works, how it automatically triggers an alarm in an emergency and wh
