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 why the measured values increase when it rains.
