1,500,000 pCi/L in the worst case. I should say that was just downwind from the reactor and the readings we are seeing here are across the ocean. And from what I read just yesterday, the total emissions of I-131 are now about 1/5 or 1/4 of Chernobyl (close enough to be equivalent).

We lived in Munich when Chernobyl blew. Kids weren’t allowed out to play for a couple of weeks, nor even walk on the grass. We weren’t supposed to buy German milk for a couple of months.
