It arrived from the west, dropping radioactive rain on much of Japan and radioactive dust on the northern island of Hokkaido. A sample sent to Tokyo proved to be ordinary dust from the Gobi Desert, which often falls on Japan. It must have got its radioactivity from a "hot" air mass that passed near the Gobi...
