Some people look and make up false connections.
Some people see one thing and state another.
Full tilt?
1. Fukeshima - an industrial accident. Not the worst. Can you say Bhopla?

Except that the Fukushima accident is the cause of the huge amount of radiations all over Northern Emisphere of the globe...

Except that is not true. There is no huge amount of radiation all over the northern hemisphere. Why would the distribution be restricted to the northern hemisphere? That question should have jumped out and told you whatever you read was baloney.
The amount of radiation released during the Fukushima nuclear disaster was so great that the level of atmospheric radioactive aerosols in Washington state was 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than normal levels in the week following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that triggered the disaster.
In Washington, the increased levels from Fukushima meant the daily dose during that time could have been about 16.4017. A harmful amount that would cause obvious symptoms of exposure is anywhere from two to three million microsieverts at one time, he said.
"So, you can detect the increase but being detectable does not mean it's harmful," Tipping said.
The detection of the radioactive gas in Washington is significant because it demonstrates technology advancements made by Biegalski, PNNL and others, to create a more sensitive monitoring system -- one that's capable of detecting extremely small amounts of the gas.
It should also be pointed out that the jet stream was not responsible for the distribution of the xenon. It was generated at ground level and detected at ground level.
Radioactive Xenon does not exist in the air naturally. Traces of radioactive Xenon from Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant have now been detected in a number of countries across the globe. Radioactive Xenon isotopes have been found in Korea, China, the US and also as far as some European countries according to international monitoring agencies. The US, in particular, has seen elevated levels of radioactive substances in several states, including California and Colorado. Amongst major cities, Las Vegas detected abnormal radioactive isotopes including Iodine-131 and Xenon-133 from the damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima. Radioactive Xenon-133 has a half life of 5.3 days and it appears to have now reached the entire US Eastern seaboard, and will soon cover most of the world.
Excuse me? How did you figure that!?
Are you suggesting that the Xenon-133 radioactive isotope was buried in the US, Korea, China and some European countries (notice that there are none in the southern hemisphere...jet stream) and then came to life and clawed their way to the surface ala Mr. Romero when they got the radioactive isotope zombie newspaper the following days?
Your quote also shows that the distribution is not restricted to the northern hemisphere.
... and will soon cover most of the world.

That says not restricted to the northern hemisphere. You do realize that don't you?

To suggest that this a huge amount all over the northern hemisphere is false. It is a detectable increase seen at one site.

How was it generated if the jet stream didn't get it there?
I am still awaiting your answer to that one. A fool would know that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres will mix...that isn't what I was saying.
What I was saying and what you were trying to refute, without any sources or proof, was that the jet stream moved this material across the Northern Hemisphere.
Please provide evidence for your claim.
The word generated means that the material was created at the power plant in Japan.
