There are TONS of spent MOX (PLUTONIUM and URANIUM!!!) outside that core in the spent fuel pools. - Who knows where all that is today?

All of that is still sitting right there in the pools.

There are reports of plutonium at various places in Fukushima, as well as aerosilized plutonium over Europe.

But not chucks of plutonium. And not in amounts that could be associated with Fukushima other than right next to the plant.

One thing is for certain: No one in authority has made a public accounting of it all,

Sorry. That's simply wrong. Multiple authorities have made an accounting and the detected amounts are consistent with those estimates.
