The BSUIN project – overview and same results

The Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network (BSUIN) [1] project aims to make the underground laboratories in the Baltic Sea region more accessible for innovation, business development and science by improving the information about the underground laboratories, the operation, user experiences and safety. BSUIN is EU funded by Interreg Baltic Sea [2] funding cooperation. The BSUIN consortium has 14 members from eight Baltic Sea countries. Six underground labs are looking for new collaboration in the project. One of the goals of the BSUIN project is to propose standard methods for the characterization of underground laboratories, including natural radiation background characterisation. We have proposed scheme for thermal neutron flux measurement: simple and low-cost but still very reliable. A pilot measurements were made in mines in Freiberg (Germany) Data analysis is in progress (paper)
