The purpose of RADNET is the documentation of the dispersion of anthropogenic radionuclides into the biosphere. "Anthroprogenic radionuclides" specifically refers to radioactive contamination of the biosphere by human activities, with special reference to weapons production and commercial nuclear electricity production which result in the accumulation and dispersion of long lived radionuclides. For an elaboration of the purposes and limitations of RADNET please refer to Section 1: General Introduction.
