After the devastating earthquake and tsunami which struck eastern Japan on March 11, 2011, and the subsequent meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, accurate and trustworthy radiation information was publicly unavailable. Safecast was formed in response, and quickly began monitoring, collecting, and openly sharing information on environmental radiation – growing quickly in size, scope, and geographical reach. Before long we began monitoring Air Quality as well. Our mission is to provide citizens worldwide with the tools they need to inform themselves by gathering and sharing accurate environmental data in an open and participatory fashion.

Safecast developed the bGeigie, a mobile radiation monitor to help collect and openly publish environmental radiation levels. The unlockable content in this NFT includes the original log files for the very first bGeigie drive in Fukushima on April 24, 2011, essentially the 2nd day the device was being used in the field. Visualized data can be seen at map.safecast.org - All proceeds from this auction go to benefit Safecast.
