Depressed by the devastation in Japan and frustrated with the U.S. news coverage of the subsequent radiation problems, local developers at Uncorked Studios wondered if they could do something about it by having providing a way for people on the ground to report radiation levels.

The idea and the sketch that accompanied it spurred a frenetic 48 hours of development resulting in RDTN.org where people can report the radiation levels they are measuring and other sources of radiation information is aggregated.

But launching the website was just the beginning of the journey. In the subsequent days, Uncorked Studios has learned many lessons from the differences in the way radiation is measured, where best to get radiation data, and how to help put the radiation levels in perspective.
