Safecast For Mac

There is no doubt that nuclear energy is one of the most efficient sources of energy used today,  with more than 400 operational nuclear reactors in more than 30 countries worldwide.

As we are sure you already know, nuclear energy, despite being beneficial for our current demands, doesn’t come without dangers and of the most well knows and dangerous of them all being radiation.

Aiming to collect and impel people to share radiation measurements and data comes Safecast, an application that provides you with a comprehensive collection of radiation measurements. Extensive radiation reports, aerial surveys, specialized databases, and powerful visualization tools are but a few things that Safecast brings to the table.

What’s more, besides its built-in dataset, Safecast also makes it possible for you to browse radiation related data from other external sources such as The US Department of Energy / NNSA, USGS and Canadian Geological Survey, and US EPA.

Wether you want to view extensive radiation measurements from Fukushima, Hawaii, or the famous Pripyat-Cernobyl, or from the area you live in, Safecast makes that as easy as possible.

What’s more, with the help of its powerful visualization tools, you can create many and custom layers, change the map’s background and coloring, to gain an active understanding about the radioactivity from your surroundings or from any part of the world.

There are also some good news if you want to know exact numbers and raw facts, as Safecast can display the exact numeric values of radiation with the help of its Query Reticle Tool, as well as view predicted values for the areas that were measured without the help of GIS Interpolation scripts.

Safecast makes significant and praise-worthy steps towards providing people from all over the world with accurate important data about the worldwide level of radiation, but, more importantly, about the level of radiation surrounding them.

If you like the philosophy behind Safecast and you want to support its cause, then we recommend that you create a free account on Safecast’s official website and contribute with your own radiation measurements data.
