Thanks for the assurance but don't forget caesium-137, which is also in a significant level and has much longer half life.
"The daily amount of caesium-137 released from Fukushima Daiichi is around 60 per cent of the amount released from Chernobyl,”

After 40 days the radiation level would be only 1/256th of the initial amount.
According to all reports no Uranium or Plutonium has escaped beyond a few km from the plants.
If you have granite counter tops in your kitchen or any cracks in your basement (which often leak the alpha emitter Polonium -218) you will be exposed to thousands of times the nuclear radiation that you'll ever see from a X3 made with components made in Japan.
One cross country flight in a plane at 35,000 feet or one dental x-ray would be much more exposure.
