There's low levels of radiation everywhere on Earth. Not because of nukes, but because there's radioactive stuff all around us. Those "Radon Test Kits" in the hardware store aren't due to nuclear power, for example.
The reason nobody's bothered producing such a map using any data from Fukushima is the radiation outside the immediate area is lost in that background.
That could theoretically change if there was some sort of large, long-burning fire at the plant. Say the Japanese decided to not fight the fire for a week. But where that radiation goes will depend on the current weather, so such a map can't be drawn yet.

And everything that comes directly from Sen Wyden, take seriously. "Christina Consolo"? not so much.
