http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1366308/Japan-earthquake-tsunami-Meltdown-3rd-reactor-blast-hits-nuclear-plant.html

seems like a pretty comprehensive report

includes discussion of measurement terms (millisieverts)
and effects of radiation exposure

the people most in danger are those still working at the plants- they are real heroes

From the link to Daily Mail Post #6:

"Experts said the nightmare scenario at Fukushima was of a meltdown which triggers a massive build-up of pressure inside the containment unit. If the unit cracks, a plume of radioactive dust and gas would spill hundreds of miles into the air."

My question would be could we theoretically have enough radioactivity in such a plume that could be carried to the West Coast of the US by wind and cause any serious concerns or could is dispers?

Thanks.
