Radiation Monitoring

I would say the chances of a Nuclear plant incident is relatively high up the scale, lets not forget Windscale. To add to my concern I have a local plant apx 40 miles away whose graphite core is well out of spec.
Granted a nuclear bomb is a slightly more complex issue, you would be looking to be on a boat heading south before that balloon goes up.
Additionally Fukushima was a very interesting case,a chain of events working in tandem to provide a serious meltdown and reactor breech. Yes nuclear plants in general are pretty safe but how would they cope with a major super storm ? Could you lose the two HV supplies to the site ? Possibly. Could you lose the onsite generator ? Possibly.
In fact the Japan event taught us more about the importance of a full tank of fuel when it comes to leaving Dodge in a hurry.
