How to Access RadNet Data

RadNet near-real-time data can be viewed on EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) website at
http://www.epa.gov/cdx.

Radiation emergency response experts can request access to a restricted RadNet data site, where all RadNet data is housed before being released for public access. As EPA develops a unified federal transparency system, additional data summaries and characterizations will be developed for wider communication and access.

The classification of the data requires the user to create a username and password before accessing the
site. 

Instructions for accessing the RadNet CDX website:
  1. Go to www.epa.gov/cdx
  2. On the left side select “Login”
  3. On the new left side select “registration”
  4. Select “continue”
  5. Select “I accept”
  6. Enter your information including a password
  7. When given the list of access programs, select Radiation Network (RadNet)
  8. There is one more required field that pops up and enter N/A into that
  9. After an option to select more programs, you will be taken to the RadNet page.

RadNet filter data gets posted quarterly to Envirofacts for public access:
http://www.epa.gov/enviro/facts/topicsearch.html#radiation. 

EPA is currently examining ways to enhance the accessibility and characterization of the data.
