Update 7:
– Japan Nuclear Meltdown: Multiple Times Worse than Chernobyl
Update 6:
Update 5:
– Japan Nuclear Meltdown: Radiation Levels 6,600 Times Normal 20km Away from Fukushima Nuclear Plant
– Japan Radioactivity Forecast System Down
Update 4:
As Robert Alvarez, a former nuclear energy adviser to President Bill Clinton, has written, if these waste containers, euphemistically called “ponds,” were to be damaged in an explosion and lose their cooling and radiation-shielding water, they could burst into flame from the resulting burning of the highly flammable zirconium cladding of the fuel rods, blasting perhaps three to nine times as much of these materials into the air as was released by the Chernobyl reactor disaster. (And that’s if just one reactor blows!)

Update 2:
Here is another (supposedly) official map circling the Internet:
In the news:
– Japanese Nuclear Crisis Escalates After Third Nuclear Reactor Went Into Meltdown
Update 1:
– Japan Nuclear Possible Fallout Map Labeled As Hoax (???):
UPDATED ! No official link-back can be found to the Japan fallout forecast map. (The graphic has been removed, but it can be seen by clicking on the preceding link.) Further research indicates that the graphic was a hoax. Nevertheless, the direction indicated on the map is consistent with the Pacific Ocean jet stream.
Earlier today, a suspicious map circulated on the Internet, forecasting possible nuclear fallout from the Fukushima nuclear power plant explosion spreading radiation to the West Coast of the United States within 6 to 10 days time.
The suspicious map, bearing the logo of Australian Radiation Services, indicated that exposure to radiation following a likely nuclear fallout from the nuclear power plant explosion in Fukushima, Japan, could read the West Coast of the United States within 6 to 10 days time.
This map is actually a hoax

IT IS ALL TRUE 2012 WILL HAPPEN
Fake Obama there is no evidence, just like Y2K. Dont fall victim to mass hysteria!
Why are people posting hoax maps? Your crazy if you do, crazy!
The whole Nuclear industry is pure insanity and never should have been entered into. Humanity is not responsible enough.
Nuclear power another JEwish creation that took off, but they never really looked into how dangerous it was. I guess it’s nice to not have to supply those boilers eith oil or coal, but you have nuclear waste. Then there is the fear of accidents. Plus it takes a lot longer and more expensive plants. It’s a lot to do just to heat water. It’s time for everyone to use perpetual motion machines. They exist.
