The following were extracted from this research paper, relating to a hypotethical accident at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Station similar to that at Fukushima.

Researchers estimate \~25% more mortalities in California.

  • Comments on the model of a Fukushima-like accident at Diablo Canyon:

  • Iodine 131 dispersion after hypothetical Fukushima-like accident at Diablo Canyon (in March). Note that in the first 36 hours, the entire coast of California is exposed to high doses:

  • Iodine 131 dispersion after hypothetical Fukushima-like accident at Diablo Canyon (in Sept). Again, the entire California coast is exposed to radiation in the first 36 hours.
