RadNet - Tracking Environmental Radiation Nationwide

[Guest guest]

A branch of the US Environmental Protection Agency:

RadNet is a national network of monitoring stations that regularly collect air,

precipitation, drinking water, and milk samples for analysis of radioactivity.

The RadNet network, which has stations in each State, has been used to track

environmental releases of radioactivity from nuclear weapons tests and nuclear

accidents. Future uses of this network might include monitoring waste disposal

and radioactive cleanup sites. RadNet also documents the status and trends of

environmental radioactivity; these data are published by NAREL in a quarterly

report entitled Environmental Radiation Data. Previously this was a paper only

publication, but it is now being published online as well.
