Not to sound alarmist but when Chernobyl occured, the winds brought the radioactive particles all over Western Europe (Germany, East of France, Corsica, etc...). The French authorities at that time were minoring the risks (there was then a French joke : "the winds stopped at the frontier because they had no passport") but later on, cancers and especially thyroid problems were multiplied by a very big factor.
Mushrooms, wild boars and so on got all contaminated. Still today, it remains a slight issue in Germany at least (anyone to confirm ?).
I don't know where the winds will take the particles to, but there's no doubt that there will be consequences on the long term.
We can already admire the courage of the Japaneses engineers working on site : they are screwing their own health and they know it.
