A) There is no "ideal location"

B) This doesn't actually seem to be a big deal to me. Fallout isn't a big deal to Prime Base while it button upped. Being in the fall out pattern might well be a great thing. It keeps folks away and after 3-5 years most of the radioactivity will be greatly reduced.

The Seven Ten rule will have a lot to say about that
The Seven Ten Rule[edit]
The danger of radiation from fallout also decreases with time, as radioactivity decays exponentially with time, such that for each factor of seven increase in time, the radiation is reduced by a factor of ten. For example, after 7 hours, the average dose rate is reduced by a factor of ten; after 49 hours, it is reduced by a further factor of ten (to 1/100th); after two weeks the radiation from the fallout will have reduced by a factor of 1000 compared the initial level; and after 14 weeks the average dose rate will have reduced to 1/10,000th of the initial level.[23]
