I'm thinking higher deposition. Maybe least as high as central europe when chernobyl blew.
1) independent scientists have measured much higher deposition from 20km out from fuku than red forest next to plant in chernobyl
2) radioactive materials are at least sporadically spewing consistently since the accident (no covering of any sort 6 months in) vs few weeks at chernobyl (they covered with tons of melted lead)
3) 3 reactors in fuku vs 1 in meltdown in chernobyl not knowing extent of damage and release of radioactive materials (except dubious "guesstimates" from Tepco themselves)
Tepco's feet dragging with only 5000+ workers for 3 reactor meltdown vs ussr gov spending almost any resources, including 600000+ workers, for 1 meltdown is another indication of this crisis being worse than what that map shows.

We were looking at this map a while back. It would be nice if it was zoomable, and also if we knew what release numbers were plugged into the simulation.
In any case, this simulation shows western US at 40-250 bq/m2 of Cs-137. From what I can establish this level (in the US) is not dissimilar from what was seen during the Chernobyl release.

You want the end of simulation maps, bottom of page. One is wet, one is dry.
Unfortunate Headline msm won't be reporting
I did not even see this when I posted that cera map a week ago it is true good catch.
Or.
