Fukushima Nuclear Maps - Stay out - no fly - no people

Attached # 1 is not all that great a map, but it is a starting perspective.

Attached # 2 has not that much more detail, but may be good enough.

Attached # 3 I called "unknown" because it is not obvious from the context if the map is of Fukushima Dai-ichi which has most serious problems, or Fukushima Dai-ni which also has serious nuclear accident issues.

Attached # 4 shows what changed, thanks to comparing images from two satelites, to see what changed one picture to later one.

Here's where I got the map with the simple circles initial evacuation zone.

Fukushima Dai-Ichi I on a map from http://www.pdc.org Pacific Disaster Center (PDC), summary[1] link to detail[2] PDF.  This nuclear power plant is one of three in trouble right after March 11 earthquake and tsunami.  There’s another in trouble much farther south thanks to one of the aftershocks and accompanying tsunami.[3]  This map has 2 circles around.  Orange middle is 3 km. Yellow outer is 10 km.  These are the initial evacuation and stay indoors zones which later got expanded.

I downloaded a copy of this map, naming it

EOJ Map 2011 Mar 11 NPS Fukushima Dai-Ichi I

EQJ = Earthquake Japan (organizing my documents vs. Haiti)

NPS = Nuclear Power Station

Here's where I got the second attachment:

(MAP) Japan: No Fly and No Man Zone (as of 15th of March 2011)[1] from WFP.

This zone encompasses the two Fukushima nuclear power plants.  The map also includes Onagawa to the north, and Tokai to the south, of Fukushima, both of which nuclear power plants damaged by earthquake and tsunami, but not as badly as the Fukushima plants.  This map does not include the nuclear power plant, much further to the south in Japan, which had to be shut down due to one of the aftershocks.

Note WFP is UN’s World Food Program, which also manages UN Humanitarian Air service (UNHAS) operations.

I downloaded copy of this, labeling it: (renaming later)

Here's where I got the map I labeled "unidentified" because you can't tell from the map which power plant they are referring to.

e-GEOS of Italy offers (MAP) Japan: Fukushima Nuclear Plant - Damage Assessment Map (16 March 2011) summary link,[1] to detail PDF,[2] which I downloaded with name EOJ Map Fukushima unidentified Mar 16 e GEOS

The original title or NAME was incomplete, since there are TWO such Plants, Dai-ichi and Dai-ni, in trouble thanks to the big earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accidents triggered by these events.  It is not obvious, from the map, which one they are referring to.  That is why I included the world “unidentified” in my labeling.

I have an earlier downloaded map, now called

“EOJ Map Fukushima Dai-Ichi 2011 Mar 11 NPS” showing concentric circles of evacuation (I periodically adjust naming to make easier to find again) and “EOJ Map 2011 Mar 15 Stay Out” which shows BOTH Fukushima power plants, and the other two impacted by initial earthquake and tsunami.

e-GEOS of Italy offers (MAP) Japan: Fukyshima Nuclear Plant - Change detection Map (17 Mar 2011) which I had to blow up a ton of times to see they are referring to Fukushima I = Fukushima Dai-ichi.  They took pictures from two satellites to get at changes: - buildings damaged, and still standing.

I downloaded this as “EOJ Map Fukushima Dai-Ichi Mar 17 e GEO”

 

If science makes it possible, I would like to see infrared or whatever conversion that shows where radioactivity was in the air over the plants, and down-wind, at what altitude.  I suppose the only way to get such info is to use an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) carrying various radiation detectors, then plot what it finds on a simulated map.  The UAV would need to be cleaned after every mission.
