Hi Broken_Clock; Re: "IOW, another smoke blower. ";

You're confused. I'm telling you that when you do the calculation you will find that the number of decays per cubic meter is amazingly large. There's no smoke. It's possible that you're just too stupid to do the calculation for yourself or too lazy. I had someone contact me by PM asking for me to share the numbers with them, LOL. No, y'all are just going to have to do the math yourself.

First step is to make a guess as to how many Bq were released into the oceans. You can get a vague idea from the wikipedia article. It has good references for the numbers and the various sources seem to agree on the magnitude:
en.wikipedia.org

And with estimates like this, "vague ideas" are good enough. They're probably within a factor of 10 of the actual amounts.
