Yarrow: a radiation monitor network
Natural background radiation is tiny and different everywhere: the ground, the buildings and the altitude all change it. Volunteers connect a Geiger counter to their computer, and every ten minutes a count is sent here. Together the counts become a live map of the background dose rate.
Each stream of counts is tested after a day for the statistics a real counter must show (random, never too smooth, never impossible), and only then earns credit. Open the radiation map »
