‘The Broken Maps of Fukushima’ 2016, in which Robert Jacobs explains how static maps cannot accurately represent the contamination as radioactive materials continue to be emitted by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant via air and water, while winds, rain, snow, ocean waves, rivers, animals, vehicles, ‘decontamintation’ and incineration of radioactive waste will continue to re-distribute and spread it further:

Antineutrino glow concentrated around nuclear power plants:
“Nuclear power plants, including the 58 in France, stand out like pimples. Reactors are the only source of human-made antineutrinos, which are created during fission”.
ANTINEUTRINO RAINBOW A global map of antineutrino emissions illustrates that many of the wispy particles are released from Earth’s crust and nuclear reactors:
