Japanese crisis: Website set up to record radiation
People living near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant are collaborating online to help plot radiation levels in the local area.
The RDTN.org website allows people to submit their own radiation readings, which are then mapped alongside official data. The site is one of several crowd-sourcing initiatives set up in the wake of the disaster.
