What's the radiation situation in Japan currently and how might it escalate?

I was just wondering if anyone had a reliable source, or information, on the amounts of radiation and the level of danger in Japan right now. I've been searching the internet but can't find anything substantial or concrete. Reason is that I want to do international studies in Japan when I go to college and my mother is concerned about the safety of living in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. What do you believe the situation will be like in the following years and does your evidence support it? If you could give some good sources with ethos it would be appreciated. Thank youWhat's the radiation situation in Japan currently and how might it escalate?
I believe it's limited to about a 20km area around the Fukushima nuke plant. They seem to have it under control at this time.

99%++ of Japan is safe. If it wasn't, it would be world wide news.
Strontium-90 has recently been discovered in Yokohama - 245 kilometers from the nuclear facility, despite the government saying that none had traveled beyond Shirakawa City, 79 km from the site. The government does not even plan to look for any beyond 80 km, which is probably why they did not find any!
Here are the details:

The government has ordered telecommunications companies to censor reports which contradict the state media reports that the Fukushima nuclear radiation disaster is over: (http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2011/04鈥?/a>

The level of radiation in the soil in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo this year is 200 times what it was for the previous 5 years.

So I would not be too optimistic and believe everything that the other people writing here have said. The official government position is that everything is fine and there is nothing to worry about, but more and more radioactivity is being discovered all the time.
Finally, here is a recent map of the radiation

Today October 12 they discovered a micro hotspot measuring 2.7渭Sv/h in Setagaya Tokyo. Which, if you do not know is extremely highWhat's the radiation situation in Japan currently and how might it escalate?
You can get radiation data from RadiationNetwork.
Originally, the radiation level in Japan was very low compared to other countries.
Even now, it is very low.
If you check the site, you can understand what I mentioned.
Even near the nuclear plant, the radiation level is about the same as NYC.
You can check radiation levels of these cities through RadiationNetwork.
I think you'd better worry about the influence of past nuclear experiments nuclear weapon states did before.
Check this radiation map.

The vast majority of Japan is perfectly fine. There's a reason why you don't see it on CNN or international news much anymore, because after these news agencies sensationally predicted the end of the world, NOTHING Happened, there was no radiation cloud that killed everyone, and all these news agencies pulled out.

Earthquakes can happen anywhere anytime, the vast majority of earthquakes do not disrupt daily life at all, you do not even notice it. Tsunami's are a rare event as well, and do not affect major cities like Tokyo or Osaka.

You have a better chance of getting killed by a drunk driver in America. People are killed everyday because of drunk drivers in the USA.

Radiation levels:
Believe it or not, Tokyo has always had lower radiation levels. Places in the world like NEW YORK CITY have HIGHER amounts of radiation naturally occurring. You don't hear that on the sensationalism news do you? Of course all of this is in S A F E levels.

Recent Radiation Levels:
Tokyo 0.055 (uSv/h)
NewYork 0.094 (uSv/h)
Berlin 0.071-0.081 (uSv/h)
Hong Kong 0.08-0.14 (uSv/h)
Seoul 0.109 (uSv/h)

As you can see Japan (Tokyo) has the lowest amounts, other places just have naturally occurring higher levels, even if these numbers were increased 2x or even 3x it will still generally be safe.

There is no mass exodus of people, the Emperor, the Japanese government, the United States government and military continue to operate in places like Tokyo under NORMAL conditions.

If you think about it, if the radiation level was such a serious level, there would be a full scale evacuation of the embassies, the US embassador, the us military, the emperor, the prime minister of Japan, NONE OF THAT IS HAPPENING. Because things are NORMAL as normal can be.
