Map from 2012 which gives an indication of the extent of the radioactive contamination by gamma-emitting materials such as Cesium-137 and Cesium-134 at that time:

However, this map does not show the spread of other radionuclides which emit alpha radiation, such as Plutonium-239, and beta radiation such as Strontium-90, which are particularly hazardous when lodged inside the body when inhaled or ingested.

Nor does this map accurately represent the contamination today, in March 2016, as radioactive materials continue to be emitted by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant via air and water, while winds, rain, snow, ocean waves, rivers, animals, vehicles, ‘decontamintation’ and incineration of radioactive waste will continue to re-distribute and spread it further, as discussed by ROBERT JACOBS in “The Broken Maps of Fukushima”:

Bo Jacobs re how the contamination maps become innacurate or ‘broken’ because contamination is further spread around by rain, snow, wind, floods, incineration of radioactive waste, animals and more: http://www.dianuke.org/broken-maps-fukushima/

if there was an accident like the one at Fukushima Daiichi at San Onofre nuclear power plant (NPP) in Southern California, it might look like this:

Like Fukushima Daiichi NPP, San Onofre NPP also sits on a fault line …

and if there was an accident like the one at Fukushima Daiichi at Indian Point nuclear power plant (NPP) in New York state, it might look like this:

Antineutrino glow concentrated around nuclear power plants:

“Nuclear power plants, including the 58 in France, stand out like pimples. Reactors are the only source of human-made antineutrinos, which are created during fission”.

ANTINEUTRINO RAINBOW  A global map of antineutrino emissions illustrates that many of the wispy particles are released from Earth’s crust and nuclear reactors:
