"What if the Fukushima nuclear fallout crisis had happened here?"

Map by NRDC. If a nuclear meltdown on the same scale of Japan’s March 11, 2011, disaster at Fukushima Daiichi happened at Entergy’s Indian Point nuclear power plant, much of the Hudson Valley, New York City and surrounding areas could be affected, requiring evacuations far outside the 10-mile zone for which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires emergency plans. For Indian Point, even those inadequate evacuation plans have been called “unworkable” after months of study by safety experts.Natural Resource Defense Council has prepared an interactive map of the United States, where you can click on an atomic reactor near you to see basic information about the nuclear plant, as well as how many people live within the 10-mile evacuation zone and 50-mile potential contamination zone, as well as how many public schools and hospitals are located within those zones. NRDC's site also allows you to take action, by writing your U.S. Senators and Representative, urging them to demand that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission upgrade safety at America's 104 operating commercial atomic reactors.
