RanidSONNI was used to confirm radiation safety in Kiev after fires at Chernobyl NPP area.

Last summer several forest fires occurred at exclusion zone of Chernobyl NPP and led to public concerns about radiological consequences. In order to response to the public concerns personnel of SSTC NRS performed radiation survey in the city of Kiev, using the RanidSONNI laboratory to identify potential areas with abnormal radiological parameters.
