FYI: I-131, Cs-137, and Xe-133 isotope "Potential" Dispersion Map Models

Edited on Tue Mar-22-11 07:25 PM by DeSwiss

Department of Atmospheric and Climate Research, The Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU)

I-131, Cs-137, and Xe-133 isotope "potential" dispersion maps.

The below maps show what is referred to as the "Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model" (FLEXPART) for the dispersion of Xenon-133. The dispersion map models for showing Cesium-137 and Iodine-131 are also available, and they mainly show these isotopes as being concentrated at present mainly around the area of the Fukushima nuclear reactors -- but these map models are also available at this link.

3. I really do not note much degradation of amounts when it hits California

Can that be true, that the levels maintain like that? Yeech

4. I believe that the ones....

...showing "surface concentrations" are the ones that are most troublesome for us.

- But I'm only guessing as this is definitely not in my bailiwick.....

7. According to the maps, it's a little less isotopey over there!

I'm thinking Peru.. I've always wanted to see Machupichu. It's not plume challenged yet, Brazil seems like a fun place too..
