The nodes for the Global Radiation Monitoring Network are enclosed, so they
do mostly gamma.
The Geiger counters that Matt S and I have do both beta and gamma, because
the tube is very exposed.

Geiger counters measure beta and gamma, typically.
Alpha particles are
hard to detect.

I think we already have one of these monitors, as I have seen it around
CCL. Funny how I can't find anywhere information about what kinds of
radiation they are detecting. I gather that it's just X-ray/Cosmic stuff
and not alpha/beta particles, etc?

Awesome, I'm willing to help!
I have a Geiger counter from this kit
http://mightyohm.com/blog/products/geiger-counter/ that we can use for
educational / demonstration / artistic purposes as well!
I emailed the contact address on the website: radu.motisan(a)gmail.com
There's no obvious way to purchase a device or see how much one costs, so
I asked.

Want to have our own networked radiation
monitoring station? The Global
Radiation Monitoring Network is looking to add nodes to their network
<http://www.uradmonitor.com/join-the-network/>.
They only have two dozen or so nodes around the world so far, and none
in California. "In this early phase of the project, there is only a
minimal, non-profit cost, to cover the hardware components used and the
shipping."
The nodes are weatherproofed, and only need 5V power and an ethernet
cable. Is this something that could potentially be piggy-backed on to the
sudo mesh nodes as well? One of their node models has a barometric pressure
sensor as well. Not sure to what extent this is an open source project, but
we could find out.
They were just featured as one of the semifinalists for the Hackaday
prize
<http://hackaday.com/2014/09/11/global-radiation-monitoring-network-update/>,
so I expect they'll be getting an influx of new node requests...
