The Fukushima Radiation Scare Hoaxes refer to a series of viral infographics and maps that circulated online following the 2011 disaster, often depicting the entire Pacific Ocean glowing in bright reds and yellows. In reality, these images were often mislabeled NOAA charts showing wave heights or tidal data, rather than actual radiation levels. The meme serves as a prime example of internet misinformation and fear-mongering through visual data. Users today use these templates to mock scientific illiteracy, debunk conspiracy theories, or satirize how easily people are misled by scary-looking charts without checking the legend or source of the information.
