Initiating the emergency protocol through the Radiation Monitor feature unlocks all doors, allowing you to freely navigate the Blue Prince estate.

Blue Prince features various interesting mechanics that are easy to overlook. However, those who manage to decipher the codes and clues are rewarded generously. One such powerful mechanic is the Radiation Monitor in the Shelter. While the Shelter protects you from the negative effects of the first three drafting red rooms, it also offers benefits beyond mere protection.
Did you know that the Shelter can unlock all doors if a specific condition is met? The Radiation Monitor feature in the Bomb Shelter opens all doors in the estate upon initiating the emergency protocol. So, what exactly is the Radiation Monitor in Blue Prince, and how do you initiate the emergency protocol?

How Does the Shelter Radiation Monitor Work in Blue Prince?
Shelter is one of the draftable options of the outer room, accessible after opening the West Gate. You will find the Radiation Monitor feature in the Shelter terminal. It monitors and tracks the radiation level all over your estate. If the reading spikes above the radiation level of 12 uSv, the system automatically initiates an emergency protocol and unlocks all doors. This can be a game-changer, giving you a free pass throughout the estate, eliminating the need for keys and a keycard for the day.
How To Initiate Emergency Protocol at Shelter in Blue Prince

To activate the emergency protocol, the radiation level of the estate should be 12 uSv or above. Conducting experiments in the Laboratory and triggering the effects increases the radiation level. The more times you trigger the experiment effect, the higher the radiation level becomes. So, make sure to choose an effect that activates often. Generally, five to six experiment triggers are adequate to reach the 12 uSv threshold limit.
Once you trigger experiments as many times, head to the Shelter (if you have drafted in the outer rooms). Alternatively, you can remotely connect to the Shelter terminal via the Blackbridge Grotto connection. After accessing the Shelter terminal, choose Radiation Monitor > Take uSv measurement. If the radiation levels exceed the charts (12 uSv), the emergency protocol will initiate and unlock all doors automatically.
