The last time we reported on the nexus between drone technology and the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in 2011, it was focused on the Japanese city of Odaka using unmanned aerial vehicles to bring some ...

A team of MIT and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) scientists, led by Ryotaro Okabe, have developed a computational model for designing simple and streamlined radiation sensor setups that ...

Nuclear facilities in the midst of cleanup due to normal routine or unexpected incident face a remarkable challenge – how to safely determine the exact location of radioactive contamination. Such ...

Back in 2011, a team of volunteers crammed Geiger counters into bento-shaped boxes to map the radiation following the Fukushima meltdown. It turned into the biggest collection of radiation data in ...

Chernobyl’s ghostly Red Forest, one of the most radioactive sites on the planet, has been mapped by specially-equipped drones to measure the extent of its contamination. Researchers from the U.K.’s ...

Piles of highly radioactive debris are spread across the grounds of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDI), in an area larger than New York City's Central Park, according to a map of ...

A new service is making high-resolution data of direct sunlight publicly available for users such as planners of large solar power systems Renewable energy sources play an important role in securing ...

Safecast is a network of volunteers who came together to map radiation levels throughout Japan after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster in 2011. They soon realized radiation readings ...

Aerial radiation detection and mapping systems combine advanced sensors, data processing algorithms and mobile platforms to characterise radiological environments rapidly and at scale. These systems ...

Our map is based on a panel of 94 radiation hybrids 18,19. This panel, designated T51, was created by irradiating the diploid fibroblast-like cell line AB9, derived from a fin amputation of zebrafish, ...
