Seen in this video is a gamma spectrum, performed with a high-purity germanium detector.  In a 50 grams sample of soil (drain / gutter of streets) from the sagamihara area west of tokio (250 km from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant), significant amounts of the synthetic cesium isotopes Cs-137 and Cs-134 were found.  These manmade isotopes are from Fukushima, unless there was another, yet unknown incident, meaning the contamination spread quite far.
