Ionising radiation Helicopter exercise: Detection of airborne radiation by Federal Office for Radiation Protection and Federal Police

Within the scope of a joint exercise in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) and the Federal Police (BPOL) are going to practise the helicopter-launched detection of environmental radioactivity from 24 to 28 September 2012. The exercise is a precautionary measure: Based on this detection procedure, BfS and BPOL will be able to assess the distribution of radioactive substances in the environment rapidly and over a wide area, if necessary. This could, for example, be required in the case of an accident in a nuclear power plant (NPP) associated with releases of radioactive substances.

Ionising radiation Exercising for emergencies: Federal Office for Radiation Protection and Federal Police measure radioactivity from the air

In the week from 11 April 2011, the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) and the Federal Police (BPOL) train the measurement of environmental radioactivity from helicopters in a joint exercise taking place in Baden-Wurttemberg. The exercise is to ensure emergency preparedness. If necessary, such measurements are to determine the current level of radioactivity in the environment swiftly and large-scale.

Ionising radiation Federal Office for Radiation Protection offers preventive measurements

Human senses cannot detect ionising radiation. So there is no natural awareness of any hazard to avoid. Humans therefore depend on reliable measurements to identify radiation-induced risks. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz, BfS) has all the required technical equipment on hand to serve this purpose.

Ionising radiation National and international measurement systems monitor radioactivity in the environment

"Can the nuclear accidents in Japanese nuclear power plants also pose a risk for Germany? And how do we know whether a radioactive cloud moves towards Germany?" Currently many people pursuing the developments in Japan pose these questions. Due to the design of the affected reactors, to the damage that has been caused so far and the large distance to Japan no special radiation protection measures need to be taken in Germany according to the knowledge gained so far.
