When a nuclear bomb, or hydrogen bomb for the matter, is dropped there are several parts to be aware of. First is the initial area where the bomb drops, this whole area will be very irradiated. Second, the whole area will succumb to intense heat, as well as intense radiation. This radiation could last for a VERY long time. (Chernobyl is still irradiated). Now after the initial large debris comes down, there will still be copious amounts of irradiated dust,dirt,particles etc in the air that will be carried, and will slowly reach the ground. This is known as fallout.
No, Norther BC should not suffer from radioactive fallout from Fukushima.
According to government reports, Northern BC will not suffer from radioactive fallout from Fukushima.
Many built fallout shelters.
Radioactive fallout
Remember, radioactive fallout on a surface does not make the surface itself radioactive. The particles themselves are radioactive, not the surface they come in contact with. The surface can usually be cleaned of any contamination
explode and produce radioactive fallout

These radioactive particles are known as radioactive fallout, consisting of dust, soil, and other debris contaminated with radioactive material. Exposure to this fallout can pose significant health risks, including radiation sickness, cancer, and genetic mutations. Protective measures such as sheltering indoors and taking iodine tablets can help minimize exposure.
