Maps Mania: Actual-Time Radiation Maps


map of Gieiger counter readings in Eatern Europe

Yesterday a hearth broke out on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear energy plant in Russian occupied southern Ukraine. On listening to the information of the fireplace I virtually instantly rushed to the Actual-Time Radiation World Map looking for any detected spikes in radiation within the space.

The Actual-Time Radiation World Map visualizes radioactivity ranges from Geiger counters all over the world. Fortunately, as you possibly can see from the screenshot above, there aren’t any excessive ranges of radioactivity displaying up on the map anyplace on this area of jap Europe. Sadly the map doesn’t at present have many Geiger counters in Russia or any which can be notably close to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear energy plant in Ukraine.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear energy plant does function on the European Fee’s Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring map. The map reveals the present gamma radiation readings from computerized surveillance programs in 39 international locations. Fortunately the graph of the gamma dose fee on the Zaporizhzhia plant at present reveals a very low stage of gamma radiation, a stage properly throughout the vary of pure background radiation.

Russia is reporting at this time that the fireplace on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear energy plant has been utterly extinguished.

Whereas as regards to nuclear energy crops I additionally lately stumbled upon the Nuclear Stations Map, which is a brand new interactive map of all of the nuclear crops on the planet, each decommissioned, in operation or in building.

On the map the ability plant markers are scaled by their capability and the colours point out their standing (inexperienced = in operation, black = decommissioned and orange = in building. On viewing the Nuclear Stations Map I used to be struck by two issues. One (as you possibly can see within the screenshot of the map) is the clear abandonment of nuclear energy in Germany (the final three nuclear energy crops in Germany have been shut down final 12 months). The opposite is that a bit over a decade after the catastrophe of Fukishima, Japan seems to be constructing at the very least three new nuclear energy crops on its shoreline.
