SAFECAST

Part of a major migration....find us there!

I do not think much people will have a use for our new utility called @safecast API Checker but still you are free to use it (source code to be added soon): github.com/juhele/CzechRa… #radiation #radioactivity #CitizenScience #Safecast #OpenData

@slowslowfood Nope. Still here.

@safecast 活動停止？

Monitoring, public monitoring, and once again public radiation monitoring are the foundations of radiation safety. Just found that we have spiked traffic to @SaveEcoBot an hour ago and located a source in the quoted tweet. @safecast 🫂 @SaveDnipro

We had a conversation with Rob about his work for @safecast and open sourcing environmental data in Japan! Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=rN51gn…

@jhelebrant Thanks as always for your support!

By the way, a few weeks ago I spoke with Japanese colleagues from Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI; 電力中央研究所) and they spoke very positively about @Safecast and were also enthusiastic about the #CzechRad detector. 😊

Sidebar: With @safecast we used to do these workshops where we'd help people build our DIY radiation detectors. They required simple soldering and took about 3-4 hours to build, and we'd often have a workshop with ~15 people with all ranges of skill. People who had never soldered anything, never built any electronic device in their life, and people with engineering degrees. So we'd teach the class starting from absolute zero, but tell people explicitly DO NOT SKIP AHEAD because there was an order things had to be done in to work correctly, and if you did step 10 before you did step 4 when you get to step 18 you are fucked. Almost every single time the class had an absolute pro, engineering degree, PhD type - they would be the one to fuck it up. The absolute noobs would get it perfect. And it's because the people who know what they are doing know that they know what they are doing and think they know what is happening and act from a place of already knowing it, which often blows up in their faces. Coming back to art, I think I've seen the same thing happen. The most knowledgable experienced people sometimes miss it entirely because they think their experiences prevents them from missing it.

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. propublica.org/article/epa-sc…

We are deploying more autonomous radiation sensors Radnote by @safecast and @buildwithblues around Ukraine. Potential problem – they may be damaged by wildfires. Recently got the idea that can set up fire alerts on the NASA FIRMS website for each unit. Thanks @NASAEarthData.

We are uploading new #CzechRad #radiation #opendata in the @Safecast API every week + number of data files is still growing. Hope this will contribute to #open #science as all data in API are #CC0 #PublicDomain licensed so further #academic use is possible without limitations.

Volunteers from @safecast and @SaveDnipro are installing sensors for real-time radiation monitoring of #Ukraine nuclear plants. spectrum.ieee.org/ukraine-war-ra…

🔬🌍 Through our partnership with @Safecast and @SaveDnipro, Radnote sensors powered by Blues’ connectivity are helping monitor radiation in Ukraine by providing crucial real-time data for nuclear safety. Learn more:  spectrum.ieee.org/ukraine-war-ra…

Russian Telegram channels showed new footage of the fire at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. What is known so far about the incident at the nuclear power plant: ◾️ Last night, the Nikopol regional military administration reported that the occupiers set fire to a huge number of car tires near the cooling tower at ZNPP, which is located about a kilometer from the plant's power units. ◾️ The occupiers traditionally blamed Ukraine for everything and said that the plant was allegedly attacked by a Ukrainian drone. ◾️ Energoatom emphasized that the cause of the fire at the cooling tower was deliberate arson or negligence of the occupiers. ◾️ The IAEA said it "witnessed heavy dark smoke coming from the northern zone of the plant after multiple explosions." ◾️ The fire on the territory of Zaporizhzhia NPP has now stopped, according to the Dnipropetrovs'k regional military administration. ◾️ Radiation levels in Nikopol region are within normal limits.

Open realtime radiation monitoring data from our joint project in Ukraine can be seen here: saveecobot.com/en/platform/sa… The best collection of radiation data for Ukraine can be found here at @SaveEcoBot : saveecobot.com/en/radiation-m…

Incidents like the fire at Zaporizhzhia NPP and military action near Kursk NPP demonstrate the importance of independent data like our joint realtime monitoring project with @SaveDnipro . Links in thread below. Please contribute! shop.safecast.jp/store-3/ukrain…

@gbrumfiel RU's "drone strike" explanation seems implausible. I think we have to wait for more visual evidence to make better conjectures.

The fire in the cooling tower at Zaporizhzhia NPP is reported extinguished. Still no clarity on what caused it, but a reminder that Russia's illegal and reckless occupation of the site vastly increases the risk of disaster. @SaveEcoBot @SaveDnipro

Better than nothing? You can check some readings across the river from the ZNPP here: #11/47.5385/34.5565/gamma" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">saveecobot.com/en/radiation-m…
