@ Air Profit: it IS the most serious nuclear disaster since Chernobyl - and always was. I never said anything to the contrary.
But the high radiation levels (btw. your sources are wrong, it never was 1000mSv, but only 10 mSv, check today's reports) are AT THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT. In water puddles under the reactor. Not in the air, and not outside the facility or anywhere else.. The only people that are in any danger of excessive exposure are the crew that try to fix this.
Not 240 km away in Tokyo and certainly not at the US west coast.
