Nuclear emergency preparedness means that all preparations are made to limit the dose to humans and minimize it as much as possible when large amounts of radioactivity are released into the environment. The catastrophic accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima and their consequences have contributed to
The helicopter measurements have been carried out in cooperation with the Federal Police since 1989. By using BfS measurement technology, it is possible to quickly and precisely obtain an overview of which radioactive substances have been deposited on the ground and in what concentration they are pr

Smart risk-decisions require good science. But not every risk conversation is about the evidence. Responsible innovation around emerging technologies -- and a whole host of other areas -- rely on conversations about risk that are inclusive of different perspectives, concerns and aspirations. The
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
