1. Well, there's your mistake -- checking Drudge

You should have checked here instead. There's two threads on it:

no link yet-local news just reported evacuation at Fermi Nuclear

nuclear pile in an abandoned college gymnasium and hoping you have enough guys to pull it all to pieces should it get out of control, smart.

In the middle of Chicago.

:scared:

I need to look into this further, although someone posted that local news said it's all okay.

Nothing to see here, move along... (???)

I am within 'injury range'

"What does living within injury range mean for me?

The zone for peak early injuries is the area surrounding a plant in which radiation-related injuries are expected to occur following an accident. This includes only injuries that would require hospitalization or other medical attention - such as sterility, thyroid nodules, vomiting and cataracts. "
