FALLOUT MAPS FOR NORTH AMERICA
These maps, made available by the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU), show which areas of North America have received or will soon receive the highest dumps of radioactive fallout from Fukushima. The maps show during which time periods to expect incoming fallout in specific areas. It is a tragedy and a scandal that the U.S. and Canadian governments do not provide such information to its citizens. The link below will take you to a page where you can click on which radioactive fallout element to track over which area of the world. Be aware that the amount of fallout already on the ground in North America will continue to affect us for a long time to come, even if concentrations shown on this mapping (which shows current streams of new fallout from Fukushima) become less intense in the future.

ATTENTION: These products are highly uncertain based on limited information for the source terms. Please use with caution and understand that the values are likely to change once we obtain more information on the overall nature of the accident. The products should be considered informational and only indicate 'worst case scenario' releases. From what we've learned recently, it seems releases of this magnitude have not yet occurred. Furthermore, these modeling products are based on global meteorological data, which are too coarse to provide reliable details of the transport of the plume across Japan.
No animals or humans live in this area

Do you not read your own cites?

re; Chernobyl.
that is actually false.
After the Chernobyl accident in 1986, a 30 km radius exclusion zone (zone of alienation) was set up to protect people from the radioactive contamination within the zone. You get the area of the exclusion zone by the pi *radius squared formula which gives 2827.4 square kilometres (1091.7 square miles).

The Exclusion Zone was established soon after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, in order to evacuate the local population and to prevent people from entering the heavily contaminated territory. The area adjoining the site of the disaster was originally divided into 4 concentric zones. The most contaminated zone had a radius of 30 km (19 mi) from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The border of the zone was later adjusted to better parallel the locations of highest contamination.

Stop spamming images to try to hide what I'm saying, and answer to why you posted this when the graph you're referring to so clearly states right next to it that it is not in any way a working model based on live data, but is actually just a worst-case scenario which they think is likely inaccurate.

Just admit you didn't read the cite very well and thought it was real. You started a whole other thread based on the idea that it was real. I don't want anyone get that impression in this one either.

This is 300 times worse than Chernobyl as that incident had no reactor meltdown.
The meltdown of the Chernobyl reactor blew the unit's casing apart and voided the core to the atmosphere.
