But let's ignore that too. An estimated 80% of the fallout headed out to sea. Take the most contaminated areas and multiply the contamination by five and you still don't have levels that would be particlarly deadly. Instead of wondering whether there would be ANY identifiable cancer impact, we would be talking about how large it would be (hundreds or thousands many years later)... but levels in Tokyo would still be quite low... and the tsunami would still be the greater threat.
