The OTHER Electrical Grid Failure Problem 10/26/15

As an example, Indiana has no nuclear power plants, but because Illinois has 11, the entire state of
Indiana will suffer due to the drift pattern from the Illinois facilities.

Hugh,. The results are approximations, but the overlap of the debris field first of all in the eastern
portion of the location map indicate there are few areas that will be spared contamination of any
degree. Sixty power plants are under construction, and many older plants slated to be
decommissioned may be given new operating licenses. Looking at real time maps of prevailing wind
patterns over the U.S. Southern Alabama, southern Arkansas, western Missouri, western Iowa, and
northern Wisconsin as an example may be only partially effected. There is one, repeat one,
emergency standby system available. Other portions of the eastern half of the U.S. John in Nevada
The logical questions are: 1) Do we not have time to shut down the reactor cores in case of a
catastrophic power failure? I do not have an answer in the real world if everything electrical is not
working, including trucks and cars, and most people are going to be family first types. nuclear war
and privately- or government-owned/operated nuclear reactors. I have read the stories of the world
wide effect of a 1859 worldwide solar event named the Carrington Event, which was estimated
power of 10 billion atomic bombs. will have the entire states blanketed, due to the density and
overlap of the fallout. The eastern designated portion of the U.S. Who gets the one system, and do
they, after a grid shutdown, EMP, or a natural event, have the means to deliver it? If ever we needed
to plan and relocate, it is now. Please note there is and are additional factors that would
exponentially increase nuclear fallout e.g. contain the balance of approx 85 operating reactors. In
the northern part of the western map, there is only one nuclear power plant in the southeast portion
of Washington state, which might effect the northeast tip of Oregon, west central Idaho, and at an
extreme portions of west central Montana.

Four hundred forty nuclear reactors are operating worldwide, representing about 14 percent of
global electricity generation. Likely to be spared are the northern half of California and northern
half of Nevada (even though there are no facilities in Nevada, the contamination from the four
California sites will most likely effect a southern third or more of Nevada, including Los Vegas). In
this scenario, who is left to respond? 2) Well, they have portable backup systems they could fly in,
right? The answer is yes.
I am not an expert nor an electronics engineer, but Im using some common sense along with
information available online. In the western designated portion of the U.S., there are the
approximate 15 nuclear sites, so the contamination areas are much less and can be navigated
around given enough warning, unlike the eastern portion where they will have very little option for
driving clear of contamination areas and where it would be more likely continuous. That type of
event would in any event put us back 200 years, and realize not only all electronics would be a
target but likely all electronics in space would also be dead. It is apparent to me for the
approximately 35 million (and growing) preppers in this country to have better information that
makes for better choices. We all cannot move to the Redoubt States, but once again this area (and a
few others) would be one of the safer areas to reside in case we have that catastrophic event take
place with a massive power-grid failure and/or a nuclear plant failure. This is the situation, as I

thought about this and wondered where can a person live and be relatively safe from nuclear fallout
from a total power failure caused by nature or man-made catastrophe in the U.S. The western
designated portion contains approximately 15 operating reactor sites with one or more reactors.
there are approximately 100 plants currently operating. Now imagine a map of the United States,
taking a ruler and drawing a straight line from the northern border with Canada, which would head
south through the edge of Minnesota, continue through the very edge of western Iowa. This is not a
pleasant topic, but I believe it may be one of the most important topics to include in our overall
survival plans. Major cities in Arizona will be, I believe, in such an event hard hit; Phoenix, as an
example, has the newest and largest nuclear site just 30 miles west/southwest of Phoenix and would
receive the full effect from that site. We now have a east and west designated portion of the U.S. It is
uncertain at best to try and map accurately on any given day what the saturation effect might be,
but lets use Indiana as an example of a state that has no nuclear reactors but regardless of wind
direction, whether east, west, or north, they will receive a blanket effect of radiation. Trust in God
and bless you in your survival efforts. Which country has the greatest number of nuclear reactors
(want to guess)? We do; in the U.S. Myself, I am including no electronic devices into my preps,
unless they are given some measure of survivor ability by use of a Faraday cage.
So my next task was to mark the locations of each of the 100 operating reactors by state, and then
with prevailing wind patterns highlight those clouds of radioactive particles given the approximate
size of each area to be 150 miles by about 80 miles in a egg-shape pattern. Approximately seven
reactor sites are located in areas of California four south from Los Angeles through Southwestern
Arizonas three areas. the very eastern portion of Kansas, eastern third of Oklahoma, with the
southern portion of the line entering the Gulf just west of Houston
