Look at the map and click Xenon compared to Iridium throughout the world and answer me why there is so much Xenon in the world.Why is there more Xenon than any other atomic element coming from Fukushima?
Iridium? I guess you mean Iodine.
Xenon is a byproduct of nuclear fission. I expect that we you see in the maps is due to Xenon being a gas. All other radioactive elements shown in the map are heavier than air. After they fall down into the ocean after a while they do not show up on the map anymore. Xenon is a gas lighter than air and slowly rises up into space. Thats why it stays in the atmosphere longer.
