Just a thought. If a nuclear power station has melt down or a nuclear bomb goes off. It depends on the strength and direction of the wind at that time. If your down wind you will get the fall out and this area will be contaminated for some time, if how ever you are up wind you will not get so much fall out. I think the key is to have a few options and go with what is best at the time. Dont put all your eggs in one basket so to speak.

Just like to add a note. There is a nuclear power plant in bradwell essex. This is one river up from the mouth of the Thames. So with an easterly wind quite common this would blow across most of essex.
