Radhoo, if you wish to have another beta tester in the US (northeast) please contact me as soon as you have this feature available! I will gladly pay all costs, including shipping.

Do you have any plans to get any into Japan, Radhoo, or would the new 'Fuk 'hush' ima' laws there mean that anyone reporting on radiation there risks up to 10 years in prison?
(There are plenty of other websites reporting this faschism)

Hi Ash,
I plan to make the units available for anyone, anywhere. The exact location or user identity is not disclosed when plotting the data, so people in Japan using this should be ok. It is up to the end user to decide where and if to power up such a device.
LE: safecast does a lot of measurements in japan, here is their network: . So it seems it is possible to do this after all.

According to the highly respected Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, marine radioactive pollution from Fukushima will "arrive on the West Coast of North America some time in late 2013 or 2014." Right now, in fact.
This may well create American public interest in our Radhoo's global monitoring poject.

As I was preparing to ship out two additional units #11000003 and #11000004, one to Denmark and one to USA, I had to run a quick test to make sure the two units are properly calibrated. So my plan was to verify the readings for two scenarios: (1) exposure to a radioactive check source and (2) natural background exposure. For both, commercial dosimeters were set in place as a reference. One was the Terra-P MKS-05 and the second the Radex 1706. The results were excellent, both for the consistency of results recorded by the two uRADMonitor devices, but also when comparing the estimated equivalent dose computed, with that displayed on the Terra-P and Radex 1706 for both scenarios. The higher values correspond to the exposure to the radiation emitted from the Torrite sample, exactly as shown in the setup pictures on my blog. Both uRADMonitor units have registered consistent values, 0.40uSV/h for the Thorite sample, and 0.12uSV/h for the background radiation (in the right side of the graphs, where the check source was removed as per scenario no. 2).
Complete experiment details, and pictures of the setup used, can be seen here:
