Does anybody have any idea what the current patterns are off the coast of that part of Japan? They probably vary by time of year, but they will in great part determine where the prevailing winds will blow any radioactivity. What I know about this wouldn't fill a Jr. High School primer on the subject, I'm sure, but I did a bit of training as an emergency responder in case of a nuclear accident in the eighties (there's a nuclear power plant about forty miles from here) and the one thing I remember is that another city much further up the coast was the most likely point of major contamination because of the tides and winds. Good for us - not great for them.
