2012Funds from this

kickstarter campaign will go towards the

production of the limited version of this geiger counter -which will basically be parts

since a full production run is already in the

works.

Additional fund will be used towards

continuing safecast efforts and data

collection.

Andrew (bunnie) Huang

One of the great utilities of the Safecast project is the ability to collect and analyze environmental data on an unprecedented scale.

As Safecast passes the two year mark with collecting radiation data in Japan it is now possible to begin to look back over the changes in radioactivity across different parts of the country and see where this may all be heading.
