Description
SAFECAST, is a non-ideological, non-profit, volunteer-based organization created in the days immediately following the start of the Fukushima disaster in March, 2011. With an open global radiation dataset now exceeding 250 million data points, the group has become one of the most prominent and reliable independent sources for radiation data around the world, and a leading example of the potential for Citizen Science to tackle even difficult technical problems. The SAFECAST data-collection system allows volunteers to upload GPS-tagged radiation data points into a central database to be displayed on an interactive web-based map. Innovative fixed realtime radiation monitors are solar-powered and send data streams via cellular wireless. An important collaborative project begun with the Ukrainian NGO SaveDnipro in February, 2022, has established a robust independent nationwide radiation monitoring network in Ukraine. The SAFECAST project includes education and outreach, as well as timely reports on key issues written from the standpoint of responsible civil society. This presentation will describe the aims and evolution of the SAFECAST project since 2011, with a focus on trust-building with stakeholders and the wider public.
