This rather alarming “radioactive fallout map,” which says it is a USNRC product, is linked on the Drudge Report: http://www.japan.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/falloutmap2.jpg.
Is this authentic? If so, some of the messaging may address what it means for people on the West Coast. This kind of contextfree raw data might cause public concern.

Daiichi Unit 1 – there is core damage and a release in progress of fission products. Continuing to use borated seawater. Containment is intact. Release path could be through standby gas treatment system
Unit 2- no core damage, unit is intact
Unit 3 – core damage – using borated seawater similar to Unit 1
Daiini Unit 1 – no core damage, normal makeup, venting
Units 2-4, shutdown, no damage
First NRC person, Tony Ulses has arrived in Japan and Jim Trapp should be arriving soon

Waiting for White House to issue a press release – will describe we are assisting and US is not at risk
NRC is preparing a supplemental press release in case it’s needed
DOE reports that USS Ronald Reagan is picking up airborne contamination and contamination on helicopters. Approximately 100 miles out to sea. We are looking to see if this consistent with plume calculations
