None, I had just crossed into the fifty mile radius as I traveled to school. Certainly my VW was not airtight (! 
) but I believe the time of the accident (just shortly before my trip) and the prevailing winds were such that when I rolled down the windows I was met with a full blast of "metallic powdered sugar." The radiation literally exploded out of the reactor and took off in the winds. Had the accident occurred many hours before, the radiation may have been more dispersed and not as apparent when I opened by VW windows. I just happened to have been at the wrong place at the wrong time. You might also be interested in a friend's reaction. He worked in nuclear and when I shared my experience (as I did later with Arnie Gundersen), he stated that there was no doubt that it was radiation I was experiencing. I've never had a similar experience after that fateful morning. This is an experience (although I had no idea what it was at the time) that no one should have to live through!
