Annual NEOC radioactivity survey flights with international partners

This year, the National Emergency Operations Centre’s (NEOC) annual radioactivity survey flights took place in Switzerland from 26 to 30 June. For the first time in ten years, measuring teams from Germany, France and the Czech Republic were invited to take part in joint measurement training exercises. Cooperation between countries is crucial in this matter, as it ensures that measuring instruments can be coordinated quickly and large areas of land can be surveyed efficiently in the event of an incident.
