Who contaminates
Several authors indicate that the scale of contamination due to the Fukushima disaster (2011, March) approaches that of the Chernobyl disaster (1976, April-May) [1][2][3] or even exceeds it [4]. On the other hand, there is serious difference between these two catastrophes: in the case of Chernobyl, the suicide liquidators were ordered to load the dispersed active element back into the nuclear chimney, enabling the burning of the most of the nuclear fuel into the atmosphere and contamination of the wide territory. (Thousands of square kilometers of the land become unusable for the most of kinds of human activity.) In the case of Fukushima, contrary, the nuclear fuel remans confined in the containment vessels. Therefore the contamination due to Fukushima should be orders of magnitude smaller [5]. The analysis of the origin of such a discrepancy makes the matter of this letter.
After my letter to the Tenno Akihito, some information was released at the Mainichi site [6] (See also [7]). I approximated the data from Mainnichi [6] with the simple elementary function; the result is shown in fugue at right. The main trend (from the NE to SW) forced me to look to the NE from the contaminated region; there is Onagawa nuclear plant there [8]. March 13, the jump of the radiation was detected there [9]; however, no serious destructions of the Onagawa's reactors were reported.
I continued to look North–East from the map shown, following the main trace of the contamination in my fit. The trace covers the epicenter of the Earthquake of 2011 March 11, id est, 38.322°N, 142.369°E (see [10]). Then, the trend goes through the island Shikotan http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=43.825,146.749&z=18 ; the satellite figure shows the structures which could be the water-withdrawal and water-release systems. (To me, the structure look similar to the structures at http://maps.google.com/maps?f&q=46.6468,-119.5987&z=15 in the USA.) Not every water–release means the drop of the cooling water from the nuclear reactor-breeder and the waste storage, and not every rectangular structure means the nuclear-waste deposit pool; perhaps, the satellite view is not sufficient for the identification even by a specialist. But I could not find any site of the industry located at the Shikotan. (Shikotan was occupied by the Soviet Veterans in 1945 and since that time remains disputed territory).
I would be glad to get an evidence, that the events above are just occasional coincidences. The Shikotan facilities may be an important part of the Russian strategic project. The Russian nuclear doctrine (about initiative in the application of the nuclear weapon) [11] accepted in 2010 and the fortification of the Kuri islands [12][13] add two confirming details to the hypothesis, that the most of contamination registered a the West coast of the USA is result of the application of the Russian nuclear weapon.
Sergej Kirienko (Head of the Russian nuclear project) made a very pessimistic forecast about nuclear contamination from Fukushima [14] making an impression, that namely "Rosatom" have facilities to scale up the Japanese disaster to any level they want. This impression is confirmed by the statements of the pope of the Russian Orthodox church A.Shumskij [15]. The statements by the Russian prepresentatives express the menace; such menaces are in good agreement with the hypothesis suggested.
In order to negate or to confirm the hypothesis above, it would be good to measure the level of the radioactive contamination in the region to the North–East from Hokkaido, and, especially, around the point with geographic coordinates $\alpha=43.825$degree, $\delta=146.749$degree.

Japan's damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima has been emitting radioactive iodine and caesium at levels approaching those seen in the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident in 1986. Austrian researchers have used a worldwide network of radiation detectors – designed to spot clandestine nuclear bomb tests – to show that iodine-131 is being released at daily levels 73 per cent of those seen after the 1986 disaster. The daily amount of caesium-137 released from Fukushima Daiichi is around 60 per cent of the amount released from Chernobyl..//.. The difference between this accident and Chernobyl, they say, is that at Chernobyl a huge fire released large amounts of many radioactive materials, including fuel particles, in smoke. At Fukushima Daiichi, only the volatile elements, such as iodine and caesium, are bubbling off the damaged fuel. But these substances could nevertheless pose a significant health risk outside the plant.

The Chernobyl disaster began with an explosion. Fukushima is a smoldering cauldron of toxins. Chernobyl had 180 tonnes of nuclear fuel on site. Fukushima has 1700 tonnes. This isn’t the beginning of the end as hoped, it’s looking like the end of the beginning.
