Measuring radioactivity at high altitudes:
the Confederation is modernising the measuring station!

• The radioactivity measuring station at the Jungfraujoch will be modernised by 2024.
• The Federal Council took this decision in 2022 (press release).
• The FOPH measuring station is part of the High Altitude Research Station (hfsjg.ch).
• The new equipment will be more sensitive and allows online monitoring in addition to weekly laboratory measurements.
• The highest situated measuring station in Europe (3’464 m) for monitoring radioactivity in the atmosphere.
• We will regularly publish the progress of the work.
