IIDj, the Institute for Information Design Japan has been following the developments after the destructions at the Fukushima-Dai-Ichi power plant from the very beginning with strong interest.
Collecting measurements from over 20 official sources, we compile an hourly updated consistent Japan Radiation Map - featuring more than 4,500 locations, to provide a visual comprehensive overview as well as detailed meshes on close-up, both in Japanese and English:

A 3D visualization on GoogleEarth creates a compelling immersive view on the scale of differences of radiation levels which could not be conveyed by flat map representations alone:

recommended Browsers: Safari, Chrome.
We do hope that these interactive visualizations of very dense data-sets encourage decision-makers to further pursue accountable detailed monitoring of radiation levels and to provide the results to the public in accessible formats.
As this is an issue of interest also to the international community, we do expect that the sharing of these information will help concerned people in their understanding and planning.
