can I suggest dropping "traces"
what you'd lose in poignancy might be regained in punch radiation is vague enough in english

something like

snow in Tohoku
how many flakes
of radiation

in my mind there's enough ambiguity in radiation that traces seems to me to be superfluous. only a suggestion.

but thanks for the very poignant image

i can't imagine being Japanese today, reading all the news
it reminds me of how i felt sitting in a hotel watching the WTC collapse on CNN and BBC with all the erstwhile friends who used to work there and my sister living half a mile away, and my old mosque under its shadow where i used to pray every friday and go to zikr every week, and every night during ramazan. and all my friends in soho and tribeca and chinatown where i shopped and went to restaurants and the exquisite beauty of sitting in utter
silence in the inner courtyard between the two towers listening to songbirdsin the spring

it made me psychotic literally for several months with grief

thanks for sharing
I.
