Journal Article
Radioactivity spreads in Japan
2011
Overview
Initial estimates suggest that Fukushima's reactors have emitted one-tenth of all the radioactive material released during the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, and prevailing winds have swept most of the radioactivity over the Pacific Ocean. Austria's Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics in Vienna estimated last week that although Fukushima's radioactive plume has now dispersed across the Northern Hemisphere, negligible levels of volatile radioisotopes such as iodine-131 and caesium-137 (the major components of the plume) have hit countries outside Japan.
