Oh no, it's infected Wobblin-Goblin too! I thought you were immune! |

Each plant determines this based on accident type, wind direction (for plume tracking) and population density. Contact the specific plant and see if they have a public information packet with the info.

Kinda weird, considering I've been a poster here for seven years and have 24,000+ replies and I don't know what the hell "87" means. |

Sad bud but if you even ask this question you are too close.

Well that's why I'm asking, because when I move I want to have an idea of the different safety zones. |

He was talking about the topic. Imagine that  Upwind from a nuke plant is the place to be. Always. Look for which way the prevailing winds are (average) and think about being a grain of dust . . . how far do you think you could go with the winds at the normal speed. Double that. |

All commercial reactor plants in the US are housed in a thick concrete-walled containment building which protects the reactor from aircraft crashes and contains fission products inside in the (highly, extremely unlikely) scenario of an accident.
A commercial reactor, no matter what you do to it, simply CANNOT create a nuclear blast like those at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So unless you actually work at the facility (and even then its a long shot), you simply will NOT be affected by any incident which might occur. |

I don't think that's accurate...especially since the NRC has a policy to create 10 and 50 mile Emergency Preparadeness Zones around nuke plants: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/emerg-plan-prep-nuc-power-bg.html |

This is 100% accurate. Nor can any American plants that I'm aware of duplicate the Chernobyl accident--we don't have graphite rods and we encase our reactor cores in a very strong reinforced concrete containment structure. Worst case scenario, you let out a lot of steam and fission products into the atmosphere. With currently functional plants and safety precautions, even this is almost impossible. If that happened, you take your KI pills and hole up until evacuated. (KI pills protect your thyroid from radioisotope uptake, which is the major concern with nuclear 'fallout'.) Unless you're hiking into the ruins of the plant, you're really not going to be seriously contaminated. Jim |

I can't think of a situation at a commercial plant which would release fission products into the "Emergency Preparedness Zones". What could possibly degrade the containment to that level? |

A handful more nuke reactors would go a long way in reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

Nuclear Energy Institute in Washington DC is running radio commercials supporting that position. This isn't going to get the job done, but it shows how much public opinion has come around to supporting the idea. It shouldn't be too long before we start building new plants. |

Quoted from Wikepdia- In other fields Eighty-seven is also: a slang term for anilingus It is NOT, contrary to popular belief, the number of people killed in the Waco Massacre on April 19, 1993. That number is actually 74.

Minimum of 3 miles upwind from the facility. If something happens to it such as an attack or explosion, 3 miles minimum to get away from the radiation.
Radiation can be carried by the wind, so also check which way the wind usually blows when moving near a nuclear facility. I lived near one back before 9/11. Got worried after that and starting looking into it. Unless your at one when something happens, I wouldnt worry all that much. |
