[quote:Anonymous Coward 38176253:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MzQzOTM4XzY5REQzQw==] [b]One of the awful things about a nuclear meltdown could be the traffic[/b] It’s hard to imagine a worse traffic jam than the traffic jam that slows your escape from a nuclear meltdown. The U.S. Government Accountability Office is warning other federal agencies that they need to be thinking about that scenario as they plan emergency responses to nuclear accidents. Current planning focuses on evacuating or sheltering people living and working within a 10-mile radius of a nuclear power plant. [b]Such planning assumes that everybody living, say, 11 miles from an exploding nuclear reactor would sit on their asses watching the disaster unfold on CNN.[/b] And the GAO thinks that’s unlikely. Those people might instead rush into their cars and onto the streets in an understandably panicked bid to escape the area, worsening traffic congestion and making escape more difficult for those closer to the accident. http://grist.org/news/one-of-the-awful-things-about-a-nuclear-meltdown-could-be-the-traffic/ .
