Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) republished RadTown, EPA's Radiation Education Website. The new RadTown includes five new factsheets, updated information to reflect scientific advancements since 2014, brand new graphics, and additional resources for students, teachers, and curious internet browsers to learn more about radiation in the world around them.

Featured on RadTown is a suite of educational lesson plans for middle and high school teachers. These activities focus on atomic structure, radioactive decay, radiation protection, and community advocacy based on environmental data. Anyone can use the RadTown educational activities and some everyday objects to help students learn about radiation protection and have fun while doing so. Check out RadTown, and if you have questions, comments, or feedback, please email Lauren Matakas.
