"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”

"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.
