Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States, even if hints of it are ultimately detectable. In a similar way, radiation from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 spread around the globe and reached the West Coast of the United States in 10 days, its levels measurable but minuscule.
The projection, by the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, an arm of the United Nations in Vienna, gives no information about actual radiation levels but only shows how a radioactive plume would probably move and disperse
Makes ya wonder why the u.S. is setting up more monitoring devices in the U.S. then doesn’t it?

So 4 are melting down, and 2 more are heating up.
So times 4 or times 6 would it be ‘measurable’?
Some of the stuff in those spent rods and in #3 have a very long half life...even the sea water because of minerals and contaminants becomes radioactive....
ok, so by the ‘arbitrary unit’ chart, California gets 10% of what leaves Japan?
that can’t be good
