More for your personal Realitycheck: Q: Around how much cesium-137 has the accident released into the open sea?
A: Twelve to 15 petabecquerels (one petabecquerel equals 1,000 trillion becquerels) of cesium-137 released into the atmosphere fell into the Pacific Ocean via rainfall. It is believed that an additional 3.5 petabecquerels flowed into the ocean when water used to cool the melting fuel rods immediately after the accident was contaminated and released.
Q: What can we learn by comparing the nuclear accident with the spread of radioactive substances caused by nuclear weapons testing?
A: In 1970, a total of 290 petabecquerels of cesium-137 was released in the North Pacific due to nuclear weapons testing. The level was 69 petabecquerels in 2011, after the cesium-137 decayed over its 30-year half-life and some of it flowed into other waters.
In comparison, the amount released due to the Fukushima accident is around 15 petabecquerels.

Any numbers you got generated in or from Japan are tainted with Tepco, the inability or shall we shall Japans cultural inclination to lie for prides sake then admit the actual embarrassing truth. And then of course their is the money. We will know more of the truth in the next 3-5 years and no numbers you regurgitate will hide the radiation.
