Not even close to Chernobyl.

Right, the levels they detected in rain water (from the French document the article links to) were from 4.9 Bq/L to 0.24 Bq/L. You would have to drink hundreds of liters of water to get the same dose as eating a few bananas.
I can't even see where they have measured levels in food but talk about how "risky" it is.
But let's hear your prediction. You say "Japan is in for a grim summer once the south winds establish."
Define grim. How many deaths? What level of radiation? What impact? Lets hear your predictions so we can evaluate them.
