How close are you to a nuclear plant?
An interesting map. I came out at a miserable 35 miles!

Modesto is not looking so bad after all judging by the others posted so far.

Not bad, 246 miles is the nearest and that's NE of me in Washington state. No prevailing winds from there. Next closest is more than 600 miles away.
But as some round here have mentioned, we live in a fault area, on a flood plain, surrounded by dams which may break in a Big One. Hm.

San Onofre 66 miles. So I'm safe...unless they have a nuclear power plant in TJ.
