Preliminary results of the first year of the PIANOFORTE research project: CITISTRA

Original language description

CITISTRA (Citizen measurements as complementary radiation monitoring strategy in threats due to armed conflict or natural disasters) is a project responding to the current geopolitical situation in Europe and the increased risk of threats related to radioactivity in connection with war and armed conflicts. The goal is to evaluate the possibilities of using citizen radiation measurements as a complementary strategy to traditional procedures. The project includes a sociological survey in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland aimed at identifying suitable target groups suitable for carrying out citizen radiation measurements. As part of the project, 300 pieces of CzechRad detectors equipped with a Geiger–Müller tube, GPS and memory card recording will be produced and calibrated. Overall 500 portable CzechRad detectors will be loaned to selected volunteers in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia for one year to perform measurements.. Users will also receive free tools to visualize field measurements on a map. Before the start of the measurement period, these chosen groups will be trained in radiation, detection, radiation protection and how to use CzechRad detectors The data measured will be also available to the public. In addition to field measurements, attention will also be paid to the possibility of using the CzechRad device to measure the thyroid gland, food, feedstock, or objects of daily use. Various educational activities, informational materials and workshops are also a part of the project. The presentation will summarize the current status of the project, results obtained during the project's first year. Presented at European Radiation Protection Week 2024 (Rome, November 11-15, 2024).
