How far can the waste from the nuclear plant in Japan travel.?

Most nuclear emissions (plant failures, bomb testing) are eventually detectable in trace amounts globally. Debris from the tsunami have reached the coast of North America by sea, but cannot be directly attributed to the nuclear plant.
However, the amount of additional background radiation beyond a 30km radius of the site is neglectable and amount to less that typical exposure from a home wireless network or smoke dectector.

What is the waste of nuclear power?
Nuclear reactors produce heat, the heat then is used to make steam, turning turbines. Therefore, the waste of a nuclear power plant is excess steam.
Does nuclear energy produce a lot of waste?
Yes; the average nuclear power plant yields about 3 tons of radioactive waste each year.
Where do waste products go in a nuclear plant?

What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal burning power plant?
fear of the waste.
Which is a waste problem of nuclear power that does not occur with coal-burning power plants?
The only waste from a nuclear power plant is spent fuel rods, which can be reprocessed. The waste from a coal fired plant is carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, mercury, ash, and soot.
What does the term 'nuclear leaching' mean?
Nuclear Leaching is a term derived from septic tank and agricultural technology adopted to the nuclear industrial context. When a nuclear plant disposes of its waste into the soil or gravel near a plant, leaching is the process by which the ground sucks up nuclear waste, like a leach will suck up blood.
What are some of the negative impacts o f a nuclear power plant?
Radioactive waste, nuclear accident, public disapproval's
