I am about 80 miles Southeast from Oak Ridge TN by interstate -- As the crow flies I'm not sure about the distance.
Edit: Looks like the website above is listing Watts Bar 1 at 101 miles closest to me here. Interesting link..Thanks..!!

820 miles. It's down wind or cross wind, depending on the weather.

.
the map is wrong, we have 3 reactors that it does not show, here in La.
they do not have a containment wall, or anyting else for protection.
about 50 Highway miles from my home to it, but as the crow flyes I don`t know.

5 between 108-135 miles from me...and all between due west and due north of me.
Of course we usually get winds from west, northwest, or north.

Oh [shucks].

What was the line the "crazy Irishman" Brian had in Braveheart, just before they went into battle? "God says that he can save me, but he's pretty sure that you're #@%'ed!"

There is a decommissioned one 10 miles from here but they got there nuclear waste in dry cask storage buried in the bluffs behind the old reactor. Supposedly that is the safest bet for preventing any disaster. However, with the report from San Francisco of the radioactivity in rainwater 18,000% percent above drinking water limits I am thinking no where is safe from nuclear disaster. I wish I did not have to worry about the rain here in California and I wish psychopaths did not control the world's political economy putting their own profit ahead of life on earth.
