    Any fall out would have been HIGHLY localized owing to the fact there is no wind/atmosphere on the moon to distribute fallout.

    But dust on the Moon is ballistic (as we see from movies of the
    rovers). So particles can be thrown thousands of kilometers, like the
    debris from impact craters is (something that doesn't happen on
    Earth).
