In case you are not aware of it, there are several websites out there
dedicated to lookup by radical, while the ones I know cover the general case
of multiple radical lookup, e.g. <http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/>.
And depending on your platform there are (free) offline tools out there to help.
But in case you want to get your hands dirty, I believe the Unihan database is
easy enough to start with. There are tools out there, though, that can take
some load off your shoulders. It can be as easy as (here I am biased though):
$ python
>>> from cjklib.characterlookup import CharacterLookup
>>> cjk = CharacterLookup('T', 'GB2312')
>>> print ' '.join(cjk.getCharactersForKangxiRadicalIndex(1))
