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.
