This page collects some maps of environmental radioactivity based on the data of the System for Prediction of Environment Emergency Dose Information (SPEEDI).

SPEEDI is a streams information from a national network of detectors of the Nuclear Safety Division of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The network was built in 1986 at a cost of $140 million (11 billion yen).
In case of a radiological emergency, the system provides real-time forecasts by analyzing the data produced by a network of detectors scattered all over Japan. The Japanese government has published the SPEEDI data only on March 23, 2011.
