Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Ukraine there is an online map of the radiation background Saveecobot, on which information about the level of radiation background at the occupied Zaporizhia NPP in Energodar is available. Measurements of the radiation background are carried out every day directly on the industrial site of the station.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, Ukraine created an online map of the radiation background in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and other parts of the country as part of the bGeigies for Ukraine project. Monitoring is carried out using mobile radiation background measurement devices with a GPS sensor and a logging function.>
