I just received this prepper guide. It is outstanding. 500 pages.
There are a number of ways our world can head to a "Bug out event"
Fuku 4, a Carrington, a Europe Meltdown (financial, not nuke), the 100th Monkey sick of constitutional shenanigans.

Reactor 4 TEPCO report PDF
TEPCO Report on reactor 4, some credibility, but also some BS conclusions that are too simplistic.
https://www.box.com/s/1048867368aa27d6a53e
And this compilation by Majia who questions why one could see through the reactor building.

Poem (not funny)
I'm thinking Roger Waters had it right. This species has amused itself to death.
We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
We ohhed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar
And somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
Spied a flickering light
Our last hurrah
And when they found our shadows
Grouped around the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data on their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry no feelings left
This species has amused itself to death

The GE-dominated culture running American government is a powerful
force. Domestic economics be damned because guns have better profits
than butter.
Picture a country that has 7% of the world's population trying to exert influence in virtually every country in the world. Massive navy, air force, and a secret nuclear weapons program still churning out weapons long after the threat of global nuclear war had peaked.
Charity begins at home, but the US government would rather pursue elusive enemies in faraway lands like there is a global world war to be won. There is no global war, just the Ugly American syndrome of protecting the financial interests of the big US businesses spread around the world.
Sorely needed domestic tax dollars that would go to health and education instead buys ill will in countries where we prolong civil wars.
As in Brave New World, enemies become friends and friends become enemies at the whim of Big Brother. Corruption by special interests makes public service a license to become a quick millionaire with a cushy pension.
While the average Joe Six Pack works 40 years for a $1200 a month Social Security check, the national legislators are far better taken care of under their retirement plan, being fully vested after only 5 years of public service. Ron Paul has refused to participate in the Congressional pension plan, labeling it "immoral".
The Greek crisis should be a lesson for countries to wake up, but instead countries like America continue the heedless path to financial ruin. Prosperity is not created by printing worthless money...it is a direct offshoot of producing desirable life-sustaining commodities.
America has lost its way in what made it the Sleeping Giant so feared by the Japanese military in 1941. After nearly 200 years of global dominance the American dynasty has run its course. The country that landed humans on the moon is still powerful, but no longer solvent. Corruption at the government level has robbed America of the title of global superpower. Make way for China as the next global cop on the block and next visitors to the moon. Americans have had a long ride to the top, but it will be bumpy on the way down.

Does anyone find it disgustingly hilarious that any committee in the world would name itself "blue ribbon". The pimps immediately have to start the promotion process by pretending that they had won a Blue Ribbon.
Sure maybe Yucca is not the perfect solution. there is no perfect solution to nuke. But the solution of letting those used rods sit in pools for hundreds of years (hoping for continuous water flow, power, never a crack or leak, never a plane strike, never a bomb strike, never a careless employee), well that is nothing short of sadistic INSANITY!

Dabama wasting no time, one day after Jackzo "resigns", i.e. is sacked under threats of you either quit of we find some child porn on your computer....
HMMMMM...one day after, Orweliian madness I tell you

MacFarlane, an associate professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., wrote a book in 2006 that raised technical questions about a proposed nuclear waste dump at Nevada's Yucca Mountain.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who is the leading congressional opponent of the Yucca site, praised Macfarlane as someone who will make nuclear safety a top priority.
Macfarlane's education and experience, especially her service on the blue ribbon commission on nuclear waste, make her qualified to lead the NRC "for the foreseeable future," Reid said in a statement.

NOTE: company is cancelling a contract to buy fro this clunker nuke plant (where incidentally the employees were busted pounding beers at lunchtime) in order to produce lower cost electricity at newly installed clean emission coal plants.
Note to self, "too cheap to meter:" hahahahhahhahhahahahhahahahhahahhahahha
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/business/151142425.html#!page=1&pageSize=10&sort=newestfirst
Earlier this year, the Madison utility announced it would no longer buy electricity from Kewaunee when its power purchase agreement expires next year. The savings will be used to offset higher costs ratepayers would have seen as WP&L adds environmental controls at coal-fired power plants.

Science Daily predicts a meltdown every 10 or 20 years
ScienceDaily (May 22, 2012) — Western Europe has the worldwide highest risk of radioactive contamination caused by major reactor accidents.
See Also: Matter & Energy Catastrophic nuclear accidents such as the core meltdowns in Chernobyl and Fukushima are more likely to happen than previously assumed. Based on the operating hours of all civil nuclear reactors and the number of nuclear meltdowns that have occurred, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz have calculated that such events may occur once every 10 to 20 years (based on the current number of reactors) -- some 200 times more often than estimated in the past.
The researchers also determined that, in the event of such a major accident, half of the radioactive caesium-137 would be spread over an area of more than 1,000 kilometres away from the nuclear reactor. Their results show that Western Europe is likely to be contaminated about once in 50 years by more than 40 kilobecquerel of caesium-137 per square meter.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, an area is defined as being contaminated with radiation from this amount onwards. In view of their findings, the researchers call for an in-depth analysis and reassessment of the risks associated with nuclear power plants.
BUT ------------------------ The reality is far worse than this scientific review.
They are assuming that nuke accidents will continue to be proportional during the past design life stage as opposed to the during design life phase.
Reactors are designed for 30 to 40 years of life. Almost all plants out there are now in the 30 and up category.
Any pro nuker who can't see that accidents will increase greatly, either lies or knows nothing of reality. We know they lie through their teeth. Anything to protect their precious pension from the nuke industry. Instead we should retrain them in solar.
Think if your car is designed for 100,000 miles. What are the odds of problems going up after 100,000 miles? Are the odds of problems going up still alot even if you take it in for an annual inspection? OF COURSE! Inspections cannot put quality into a machine. And adding a few new parts can't either, anyone who has every lived in the real world knows that even though you just spent $3000 replacing a series of 5 breakdowns in your car, the thinking that "what else can go wrong, I should be all set for a few years" ---well that thinking is just completely wrong. Of course, plenty more can go wrong.
So get set for a good size nuke meltdown every 3 to 5 years. Until we so poisoned that we can barely even fight back against the evil nukers. Get set for this unless we win NOW. Protest. Write letters.

Jackzo sacked
Jackzo has been sacked.
The captured NRC couldn't tolerate a lone voice of dissent, Jackzo was lately voting against new plant, UNLESS lessons learned from Fukushima were implemented as written law in their approval.
The other 4 commissioners did not want to formalize new safety requirements.
Sheesh, at Vogtle, they couldn't even follow the steel rebar reinforcing drawings properly.
As a former government inspector for high security and top secret construction projects, including a 300,000 SF underground battle station, the importance of following engineered reinforcing steel placement is just he price of admission, a no-brainer.
So they sacked Jackzo, and EVERYONE knows what the deal is. Everyone knows the NRC is captured and is a promotion agency, and everyone knows that dirty trick, false accusations are the way it is played. Corruption is tolerated, to all of our detriment.
Shut them all day, human corruption can't be allowed to mix with the most dangerous thing on earth.

Accidents, more information
This is from Idyl at Fluffpost-----
After a comment that 1% of all reactors blowup, meltdown, or both.
This doesn't cover the half of it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_civilian_nuclear_accidents
2000 - 2010: three accidents (INES levels 2 and 3)
1990 - 2000: three accidents (INES level 2 and 4)
1980 - 1990: five accidents (INES levels 2 - 7)
1970 - 1980: three accidents (INES levels 3 - 5)
1960 - 1970: six accidents (INES levels not used)
1950 - 1960: five accidents (INES levels not used)
Lets not leave out another extensive list of power plant accidents, fatalities, property damage in excess of US $100 million, nuclear reactor attacks, radiation and other accidents:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_and_radiation_accidents
And NRC database of event reports in the US:
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/
For 2012, 75 event reports to date in May (1st - 18th): safety alarms not working, failure of containment high pressure isolation system, damaged moisture density gauge, oil sheen on diffuser pond, battery cells with reduced discharge capacity, reactor trip (feedwater control valve failure), medical treatment of worker, loss of emergency notification system phone, radioactive spill during medical treatment, overexposure to radiographer, contaminated injured person (multiple), missing thallium-201 shipment, potential fire in containment (link below), main turbine trips and scrams, and more …
