You left out proximity to coal powered plants and other industries
that burn fossil fuels.  The Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently
was asked to test for radiation around such plants and thier findings
were that if these plants had been nuclear they would have to be shut
down.  Fossil fuels (especially coal) contains trace ammounts of radio-
active materials which are part of the effluent from the plants.
