The earthquake and tsunami took out the power to the nuclear plants, so they had nothing to cool them down, and they over heat and start spewing radiation, as of now they are still spewing radation which is covering most of the northern hemisphere.
No, Hawaii is currently not in danger of radiation from the incidents involving the nuclear reactors in Japan.
As of March 20, Japan's nuclear plant is leaking radiation, but it has not collapsed yet.
Nuclear Radiation
The bombing of Japan at the end of WWII killed MANY PEOPLE because of the nuclear radiation
Due to a nuclear power plant.
No
Nuclear Plants give off radiation, however when some of the nuclear plants in Japan were destroyed, some of the radiation did travel here but the radiation it sent here isn't strong enough to do any damage :)
In 1999, there was a nuclear accident at the Tokaimura uranium processing facility in Japan, which exposed dozens of workers to high levels of radiation. This accident resulted from a criticality accident during the processing of nuclear fuel.
Small amounts of radiation from damaged nuclear plants in Japan have already reached California but they pose no health threats at all. Any radiation that reaches California from Japan is well dissipated by the time it gets there.

No not really it is not that close to japan but they might feel a little destruction! :)
