"Fukushima Update, 1/21/15"
"Study: Fukushima plume spread worldwide, far exceeding the hundreds of miles mentioned previously — 100 Quadrillion becquerels of Cs-137 released tops Chernobyl — “Implicates radiological hazard at distances otherwise overlooked”
By ENENews 
"International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (pdf), University of Florida College of Medicine, Weill-Cornell Medical College, etc. (2014): "The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident is an example of a contemporary nuclear plant accident with serious implications. The Fukushima NPP accident has had health implications due to the high levels of radiation released and vast area over which the radiation has disperse. The significant radiation release, as likened to Chernobyl, reflects the context and severity of the Fukushima accident. The level of 137Cs that was released is likened to Chernobyl levels, with 100,000 TBq released. Radioactive plume dispersion occurs worldwide, far exceeding 300 miles previously mentioned. This should implicate radiological hazard at distances otherwise overlooked.
