Once the fuel rods that contain radioactive Plutonium and Uranium begin to melt within the inner six-inch thick stainless steel vessel, tremendous amounts of nuclear material are released into the air surrounding the nuclear plant. This graph indicates that any air over Japan will come to the United States within days. It is for certain that nuclear monitoring stations on the west coast of the United States will be closely monitoring the atmosphere for any nuclear particles.

This is a graph of the spread of RADS (which is "unit of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation, equal to 100 ergs per gram or 0.01 joules per kilogram of irradiated material." according to Princeton) from the Fukushima Daiichi Plant from the Australian Radiator Services. A huge number of RADS can travel from Japan, all the way to the U.S. in a matter of 6 to 10 days.
