According to the graphic above, the radioactive plume is measured in kilometers from the surface. The US, as I recall, used high altitude balloons carrying detection equipment...
And I took a quick look around and I found the Air Force used B-29s equipped with filters to trap airborne debris. But I was thinking of a more practical way for students was to use balloons that the USAF also employed to air sample at altitude:

I renumber all those drills too
I started running a background with my HPGe detector last Friday.
This morning a low confidence Cs-134 peak showed up above MDA. Not enough to call it yet.
Oh, by the way, I heard on NHK English tonight that seawater samples near the plants showed I-131, Cs-134, and Cs-137 (typical fission products).
Personally I won’t put much stock in a chart from a state university, The so called scientists that created it probably created a bunch of global warming charts for the Democrat party.
