Thanks to all who pointed me to various sites which have actual data about radioactivity coming from the reactors in Japan. Here is an excellent site that spells out the exposure risks (mSv) and contamination risks (Bq/kg):
http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/FoodContaminantsAdulteration/ChemicalContaminants/Radionuclides/UCM078341
This site seems to be a summary of the (massive) 1990 BEIR* V report of the effects of radiation (which is available online also at
http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309039959
):
http://web.princeton.edu/sites/ehs/osradtraining/biologicaleffects/page.htm
The best sources of information about radiation in Japan (based on the previous emails seem to be):
Site which has food contamination figures:
http://www.mhlw.go.jp/english/topics/2011eq/level_m23.html
Site which has accident details, including exposure rates:
http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/fukushima_accident_inf129.html
And the previously mentioned EPA monitoring site for the US:
