"... the plant, at one point after the March 11 earthquake and
tsunami, had been releasing 10,000 terabecquerels of radioactivity
per hour."
“This corresponds to a large fraction of the core inventory of a
power reactor, typically involving a mixture of short- and long-lived
radionuclides.” “With such a release, stochastic health effects over
a wide area, perhaps involving more than one country, are expected.”
