Hmm, they were apparently reading 20 Bq/litre (about 250 times the Federal Standard for I131 isotope) at one point on the 3/23/11 at one location within the USA. Must of been a wet and rainy day on the 22nd for all that iodine to wash out down at Berkeley. What is quite worrying is that similar readings have been detected in Pennsylvania rainwater yet the atmospheric models are predicting the mid western states to get the worst of the nuclear fallout around the 2nd of April.
Concentrations reported for both, plutonium-238 and plutonium-239/240 are similar to those deposited in Japan as a result of the testing of nuclear weapons. The ratio of the concentrations of plutonium-238 and plutonium-239/240 in two of the samples indicate that very small amounts of plutonium might have been released during the Fukushima accident, but this requires to be further clarified.
The Plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki surely wasn't just a test. The IAEA b*lls*it statement could have at least been a little more politically correct.
