[:en] Introduction: Firmware V1.4.1 for the bGeigieNano is available now at github.com/Safecast/bGeigieNanoKit. A 5-second hotspot reading feature has been added. This should be especially useful for finding out exactly where the radiation is highest in a given area, and for finding the source. A video about the added functionality can be found at youtube.com/watch?v=1GF0vf3rVHw It has…

Almost seven years have passed since 3 · 11, and while we’ve been informed that the decommissioning of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant will take 40 more years, we wonder what will Fukushima look like 50 years after that, in 2111. To consider those questions, we will hold the Safecast Conference…
Please join us in Shibuya on 11/3 for a fun workshop on visualizing open data in innovative ways! E2D3 (Excel to D3.js) is a graph-sharing community enabling everyone to handle and display data. E2D3 has been hosting collaboration events with various companies and organizations. This time, we are holding a joint event with Safecast, the…

Safecast participated in the Kobe IT Festival 2014, which was held on November 28 and 29 at the Design and Creative Center Kobe (KIITO). With the support and cooperation of Eyes, Japan Co., Ltd., Safecast held a two-day workshop: on the first day attendees built their own bGeigie Nano, and on the second they learned…
The start of the project for YR-Design was an extension of building bGiegies in Aizu Wakamatsu. By being in Aizu, having build a few bGeigies for SAFECAST and being exposed to the GreenSmile project from Jun Yamadera (Eyes-Japan), it was a logical step to enter the project. Jun Yamadera first came to YR-Design with his,…

After three weeks monitoring every day and reporting nearly every day, we have to conclude that measuring radiation in Hikone, although only 60km from Tsuruga (where there are 5 nuclear power-plants), is more like taking temperature of a not-sick child. Let’s hope it will stay this way. About two weeks ago, we were standing ready…
On 2011-06-12-13 we (Yuka Hayashi, a crew of DSM TV and I) visited Tsuruga for a company video shoot and measured with an Inspector at both the Mihama and the Genden nuclear powerplants. Hereby the readings and pictures.
