Amateur radiation watchers worried about how much information they’re getting have jumped in to distribute minute-by-minute data on radiation levels in Japan and the United States.
A social and community events website in Tokyo, altTokyo.com, has added a constantly updating graph of radiation levels to its regular information about events in the Japanese capital.
“Geiger inside on a window sill, 2nd floor, been running for months,” the site administrator said in explaining his methods to the dozens of new registrants who latched on to his feed on Thursday alone.
A uStream channel also has been uploading and streaming information from other radiation monitoring sites in Japan and western Los Angeles. The site links to exhaustive hourly reports (in Japanese but translatable with Google Translate) from cities and regions across Japan.
