What mods are there for radiation research?

@rrty44 Could you specify what kind of radiation needs to be researched exactly? Otherwise, you'll just have to make do with some mod suggestions based on certain assumptions that I'll be making.

For example, I'm aware that both Bluedog Design Bureau and FASA add Geiger Counters that can be used to gather science, much like thermometers, barometers, or crew reports.

However, if you want to broaden your radiation scans to include not only harmful ionizing radiation (like alpha, beta, and gamma radiation), but also spectral radiation, like infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, and radio waves for example, then in addition to BDB having you covered once again, I'd also suggest taking a look at Tantares.

Oh, but if you're just looking for science experiment data files for other mods to use, then I'd recommend checking out Skyhawk Science System. (Oh, but CKAN lists BDB as a dependency for Skyhawk Science System, perhaps even an unwarranted, unnecessary dependency that, IMO, should've been listed as a recommendation instead.)

 

Oh, and if you find BDB, FASA, Tantares, or any other parts mods to be too big for your liking (especially BDB, which is over 2 GB in size), then ask yourself this: Who's there to stop you from surgically pruning your downloaded mods of unwanted parts? (BDB was apparently designed to have folders full of parts pruned if the mod is too big for your needs. Personally, I'd only want to keep the science experiments, probes (which come with science experiments on them), and engines, and discard the rest.)
