For the purpose of tracing the migration of radioactive materials in the environment it is essential to monitor meteorological and radiological parameters by a unified measurement system, because of the strong correlation of meteorological and radiological parameters. The ultimate goal is the prevention of radioactivity-induced diseases and disorders caused by radioactivity in both human population and the environment. A unified meteorological and radiological monitoring system can be readily implemented by using the organization and communication infrastructure of HYPERION technology. This would ensure an automatic and centralized acquisition of all relevant parameters
