I am afraid that I join those who aren't concerned enough about radiological 
attacks to provide themselves with "fallout sheleters" stores of canned food. 
etc.  Why?  1.  It is very difficult to assemble enough radioactive material 
(that is aactive enough) to produce a "dirty bomb" of any significance.  2.  
Nuclear power plants and facilities are among the most robust and best protected 
in the world.

I myself am more concerned about an attack on a chlorine shipmen,t an ammonia 
shipment, a shipment of propane or natural gas, and I don't take protective 
action there either/

Buildings that can withstand earthquakes, not allowing building iin flood 
zones, hurricane protection, and an adequate evcuation system, are all sensible 
precautions to take.
