When large amounts of radioactive isotopes are released into the air, as they were during the explosion at reactor 1, they can form a radioactive cloud of isotopes mixed with air, smoke, water, and other particles from the explosion. Like rain clouds, radiation clouds are driven by the weather. The same air currents that blow storms across the ocean and onto land push radioactive gases, too. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, which monitors releases of radioactive isotopes around the world, was also watching the unfolding disaster on the eastern coast of Japan. The group created a weather-based map that showed the likely path of the radioactive plume from Fukushima swirling across the North Pacific and sweeping onto the west coast of the United States.
