According to the graphic above, the radioactive plume is measured in kilometers from the surface. The US, as I recall, used high altitude balloons carrying detection equipment...

And I took a quick look around and I found the Air Force used B-29s equipped with filters to trap airborne debris. But I was thinking of a more practical way for students was to use balloons that the USAF also employed to air sample at altitude:

Is that just for Illinois? Trace radiactive iodine has been recorded in Washington state.

I don’t know what that is, but I’ll bet Doc does. We’re

I started running a background with my HPGe detector last Friday.

This morning a low confidence Cs-134 peak showed up above MDA. Not enough to call it yet.

Oh, by the way, I heard on NHK English tonight that seawater samples near the plants showed I-131, Cs-134, and Cs-137 (typical fission products).

Personally I won’t put much stock in a chart from a state university, The so called scientists that created it probably created a bunch of global warming charts for the Democrat party.

NOAA produces short range (a few days) WX forecasts for the US and Canada. Aviation pilots use NOAA products to choose between Visual Flight Rules or Instrument Flight Rules. Local TV news uses NOAA forecasts for weather forecasting.
