I, for one, welcome the possibility of a 5 legged corgi.

Site is inaccurate it says I'm 24 miles, but in my car its less than 8 miles, and that's not in a straight line.

Looks like about 240 miles by road, or 170 "as the crow flies." Diablo Canyon is the closest operational plant...but Rancho Seco is only about 70 miles. (decommissioned in 1987)

My estimate was close. I thought 20, and the chart says 18 to the closest. Also...

Fermi's like 25 miles away maybe.

Also, fearmongering overwhelming.

Hell, I forgot (and the above site didn't catch it either) I'm just over the hill (less than 40 miles) from Lawrence Livermore Labs...and Vallecitos...which is no longer a nuclear power plant...but still has a reactor and does LOTS of radiation testing.

Yeah, honestly...

I clicked on the power plant next to me, and in the little blurb it said "SAME CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AS FUKISHAMA PLANT IN JAPAN"

Wow, fear monger much?

 

[Paladin3]

Columbia Generating Station 180 mi
Diablo Canyon 929 mi
San Onofre 1031 mi
Palo Verde 1046 mi
Monticello 1088 mi

Let the panic begin...or not. The Diet Coke I'm drinking will kill me faster.

 

[blackdogdeek]

34 miles

 

[Ryland]

24 miles.

Best name for a plant in my opinion.

Turkey point, roughly 60 miles South.

The rest of the world doesn't have nuclear power plants according to CNN.

[MotF Bane]

Less than eight miles.

 

[Schadenfroh]

I am about 15 miles from a nuclear weapons factory. Does that count?
