Quote:
This ongoing crisis has highlighted the need for trusted sources. With conflicting reports of radiation levels in affected areas, we wanted to build a way to report and see data in an unbiased format.

This site is not meant as a replacement for government nor official nuclear agencies. Our hope is that data sets from various sources can provide additional context to the official word in these rapidly changing events. We welcome your thoughts on how to improve the site/functionality and appreciate your work to provide a richer understanding of this crisis. We will continue to implement improvements and functionality as necessary.

If you are a member of a government agency or a scientist and would like to contribute data or analysis in an official capacity to this site, please contact us here: info@rdtn.org.
