Crowd-Sourced Radiation Maps In Asia and US

kkleiner writes "In the past few weeks, several crowd-sourced radiation maps have arisen that attempt to give up to the minute looks at the threat level in the areas most likely to be affected by a catastrophe: Japan, Asia, and the US. These maps, available to the public for free online, are a timely example of how user-enabled systems are revolutionizing the way we solve problems. Tracking radiation levels is just the beginning. This is a preview of how accelerating technologies will allow us to monitor anything, anywhere, in realtime."

    You mean these data from Japan's own nuclear measurement net? Don't strain yourself trying to find it; just piss and moan on the Internet until somebody gives you the link. Wouldn't want you to wear out your Googling fingers.
