"Fallout radiation risk?" from what source? What levels of radiation are possibly expected? Or is it simply rain? The first half of the report seems to be simply disussing rainfall probabilities? Nothing in the Nuclear Event report indicates any actual radiation leak problems. What is the source of the video?

Nothing in any the event reports suggests any radiation leakage. Or anything even remotely near the meltdown the title suggests.
Case one is a patient mistakenly given a radiation medical test instead of a different patient.
Case two a group of people were in part of a reactor without proper IDs (doesn't say they weren't allowed or required to be there- only that they lacked their ID badges). No leakage.
Case three. Two coolant pumps encountered problems- backup systems were used to maintain cooling. No leakage. This seems to be the one you are talking about. From the NRC Link:
TURBINE TRIP FOLLOWED BY AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP
"Salem Unit 2 has experienced an automatic reactor trip at 1428 hours on 3/23/12.
"Salem Unit 2 tripped due to a turbine trip above [permissive] P-9. All shutdown and control rods fully inserted on the reactor trip.
"At the time of the trip 22 station power transformer [SPT], the 2F and 2G 4KV group buses were not energized causing a loss of 23 and 24 reactor coolant pumps. The auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system auto-started to provide feed to the steam generators.
"The crew entered EOP-TRIP-1, then transitioned to the EOP-TRIP-2 and stabilized the plant. Salem Unit 2 is currently in Mode 3 at normal operating temperature and pressure with 21 and 22 reactor coolant pumps in service.
"There are no shutdown technical specifications in effect. All ECCS and ESF systems are available. Decay heat removal is being provided by 21 and 22 AFW pumps and the main steam dump system. The plant is aligned with a normal electrical line-up from offsite power sources with the exception of 22 SPT. Restoration of the 22 SPT and 2F and 2G 4KV group buses is in progress.
"There were no personnel injuries associated with this event.
"This event is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(iv)(A) due to the auto-start of the auxiliary feed water pumps."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. The licensee will notify Lower Alloways Creek Township and the States of New Jersey and Delaware. The licensee anticipates making a press release.
* * * UPDATE FROM WILLIAM MUFFLEY TO PETE SNYDER AT 2127 EDT ON 3/23/12 * * *
"During the post trip review ... two additional AFW pump start signals were identified. At 1429 hrs. EDT with RCPs 23 and 24 tripped the 21 and 22 steam generators (SG) dipped below the lo-lo level setpoints and caused an AFW actuation to occur. At 1457 hrs. EDT 23 turbine driven AFW pump was stopped in accordance with operating procedures. At 1509 hrs. EDT the 21 SG cleared the low level setpoint and at 1513 hrs. EDT the 22 SG cleared the low level setpoint. At 1523 hrs. EDT the 22 SG dipped below the lo-lo level setpoint and caused an AFW actuation to occur. The two motor drive AFW pumps continued to run throughout this event.
"The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector and will notify Lower Alloways Creek Township and the States of New Jersey and Delaware."
Case four. Welds on nozzel heads noted as starting to degrade. A small amout of water seeped out. Maybe this could be considered leakage- but was only at that tiny location. No reports of any workers exposed to any radiation or of radiation leaving the premises.
If any of this rises to the level of getting excited or worried over, I would never sleep at all.

You mean there's no fallout risk from an old guy getting a technetium injection by mistake? What if he farts?
I'll be hiding in my pillow fort until you give me the all clear.
