3. How Would That Have Happened?

I don't think the nuke plants are all that close. And, the level of overall radioactive materials in any hospital that was flooded would be very low. IN addition, hospitals with radiological equipment have those things locked and sealed, so a flood or fire can't cause a release. Geez, even dental ray machines have that.

Not that it wouldn't be really bad, but i don't see how any appreciable amount would end up in the flood water. There might be something about a center in New Orleans that i just don't know about, though.
