Moving from manually built prototypes to an industrial production line, is a huge step especially for a project in an incipient phase, like uRADMonitor. Yet, with strong determination, obstacles melt away, opening the path for the first civilian environmental surveillance network, available to everyone, at anytime, to offer real time data on radiation level trends all around the Globe.

One of the important characteristics is the detectors use the same tubes, checked against a common reference. So the numbers resulting from all the measurements you see on the world map, can be compared to others in the network. The levels measured in CPMs get to have a good meaning, but also the absorbed dose approximation, that can be compared to indications of other units commercially available. But more on this later.
