NRDC Safecast Monitoring Workshop in DC
April 21 - 22, 2014
Garry Morgan, Director of BEST/MATRR's Radiation Monitoring Project,
was invited to participate and to make a presentation
during a 2 day NRDC Safecast Monitoring Workshop in Washington, DC.
Safecast began its radiation mapping project in Japan
just weeks after Fukushima, with three young professionals
hoping to provide the Japanese people with equipment
to secure solid radiation data in real-time throughout the country.
In 3 short years the project has spread to 46 countries.
The DC workshop was the first Safecast workshop in the U.S.
Garry made a 30 minute presentation, which was well received,
on our Monitoring Project and our Make Radiation Visible campaign.
NRDC generously sponsored Garry's trip to DC
and he was invited to assemble
his own Safecast bGeigy Nano-Geiger Counter
and to deploy it in the Tennessee River Valley area.
