Research programme of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection on "Radiation Protection in the Process of Power Grid Expansion"

Comparison of the electric and magnetic fields produced by overhead lines and underground cables Comparison of overhead lines and underground cables

In connection with the energy transition, the existing power grids are being expanded and strengthened. Accompanying this, the research program "Radiation protection during power grid expansion" was initiated by the BfS in 2017. With around 40 projects, research was intensified in order to continuously improve the data situation - as is usual in science - for risk assessment.
