Japanese Nuclear Emergency: Radiation Monitoring

EPA Statement on Air Monitoring Effort

EPA no longer updates the information at this link, but it may be useful as a reference or resource. This site contains information and data from March 11, 2011 to June 30, 2011. EPA has returned to routine RadNet operations. This site will continue to be available for historical and informative purposes.

For real-time air monitoring data, please visit the EPA RadNet website and Central Data Exchange. To view both current and historical laboratory data, please visit our Envirofacts database.

WASHINGTON - As the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has said, we do not expect to see radiation at harmful levels reaching the U.S. from damaged Japanese nuclear power plants. As part of the federal government's continuing effort to make our activities and science transparent and available to the public, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will continue to keep all RadNet data available in the current online database. EPA is working with its federal partners and has deployed additional monitors to Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

As always, EPA is utilizing this existing nationwide radiation monitoring system, RadNet, which continuously monitors the nation's air and regularly monitors drinking water, milk and precipitation for environmental radiation. The RadNet online searchable database contains historical data of environmental radiation monitoring data from all fifty states and U.S. territories.

Declaración de EPA (15 de marzo de 2011)

Como ha declarado la Comisión Reguladora Nuclear de EE.UU., no esperamos ver radiación a niveles dañinos que alcance a los Estados Unidos proveniente de las plantas de energía nuclear japonesas damnificadas. Como parte del continuo esfuerzo del gobierno federal por hacer nuestras actividades y ciencia transparentes y disponibles al público, la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE.UU. (EPA, por sus siglas en inglés) continuará proporcionando toda nuestra data del sistema cibernético RadNet en la base de datos vigente en la red informátical. EPA está trabajando con sus socios federales y ha desplegado monitores adicionales a Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, y las Islas Marianas del Norte.

Como siempre, EPA está utilizando este sistema de monitoreo de radiación a nivel nacional, RadNet, que monitorea continuamente el aire de la nación y regularmente monitorea el agua potable, la leche y la precipitación para radiación ambiental. La base de datos cibernética RadNet que facilita la búsqueda de información contiene datos históricos del monitoreo de data de radiación ambiental de todos los cincuenta estados y territorios estadounidenses.
