This is unbelievable. Especially enlight of comment made by NRC
"In testimony on Capitol Hill and other public statements, chairman of the regulatory commission, Mr. Jaczko has avoided criticizing his Japanese counterparts. But on Monday he said that "if we had a similar type of event in the U.S., we certainly would like to be providing a lot more information to the public."
"... a lot more information"?... Give the public even a LITTLE BIT of information. I'm disgusted. This is absolutely pathetic.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
For some reason I'm reminded of premise of the classic West End Games RPG, "Paranoia":
"SERVE THE COMPUTER THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND!
"The Computer wants you to be happy. If you are not happy, you may be used as reactor shielding.
"The Computer is crazy. The Computer is happy. The Computer will help you to become happy. This will drive you crazy.
"Being a citizen of Alpha Complex is fun. The Computer says so, and The Computer is your friend.
"Rooting out traitors will make you happy. The Computer tells you so. Can you doubt The Computer?
"Being a trouble shooter is fun. The Computer tells you so. Of course, The Computer is right.
"Trouble shooters get shot at, stabbed, incinerated, stapled, mangled, poisoned, blown to bits, and occasionally accidentally executed. this is so much fun that many Troubleshooters go crazy. You will be working with many Troubleshooters. All of them carry lasers.
"Aren't you glad you have a laser too? Won't this be fun?
"There are many traitors in Alpha Complex. There are many happy citizens in Alpha Complex. Most of the happy citizens are crazy. It is hard to say which are more dangerous - traitors or happy citizens. Watch out for both of them.
"The life of a Troubleshooter is full of surprises.
"Stay alert! Trust no one! Keep your laser handy!"
...The ten most frightening words in the English language: "Hi, I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

I also rely on CTBTO.
Their graph is current to May 2nd, and shows the cesium-137 their monitors have detected.
Look at the color legend to figure out east coast USA and west coast USA.

They also monitor iodine-131:
