We've documented the spread of radiation from Fukushima to Tokyo for a year and a half. See this, this, this, this, this and this. Unfortunately, as the following recent headlines from Ene News show, things are only getting worse:

• Tokyo area turned out to be as contaminated as Fukushima -Kyoto Professor

• Tokyo Bay cesium even higher than levels reported off Fukushima - Nearly entire sea floor contaminated by 2014

• Tokyo getting 5 times more radioactive fallout than prefectures closer to Fukushima

• Japan Times: Time bomb in Tokyo metropolitan area - Experts warn of accumulating Fukushima contamination - Potential disaster at Japan's 2nd largest lake

• Tokyo soil so hot it should be sent to nuclear waste dump - Really severe releases hit city

• Japanese Legal Expert: "Even residents of Tokyo are evacuating" - More and more people fleeing Fukushima

• People from Tokyo area report thyroid cysts and nodules - Japanese doctors laughing at patients

• Japan Scientists: Radiation dose has been "significantly increased" around Tokyo metropolitan area after Fukushima

And we've previously noted that the radiation will spread worldwide (by water and air). For example:

• California Slammed With Fukushima Radiation

• "Absolutely Every One" - 15 Out of 15 - Bluefin Tuna Tested In California Waters Contaminated with Fukushima Radiation

• Fukushima Radiation: Japan Irradiates the West Coast of North America

A new study says that the West Coast will get slammed with radioactive cesium starting in 2015
