It's best to walk towards the NPP while keeping an eye out for the wind direction.
Not worth mentioning that you have a problem when the cloud is over you so just adjust your path accordingly.
The dust doesn't rise just to fall immediately, so it's actually safer to be close, not too close of cause.
On your way there keep calling 911 until you reach the emergency services. Say "This is an emergency beacon call, please triangulate my position" and hang up. Repeat the process every 5 minutes.
Take all your stuff worth a damn (money, jewlery, precious metals) with you but leave papers at home. When you get extracted and are contaminated the papers severely slow down the process of getting treatment because they have to dig through paperwork.
Also take your gun with you if you have one and tell people to keep away since they could be contaminated, if they refuse and approach stop them at gunpoint. Don't use a caliber larger than 9mm Luger since something more powerful could spread contamination when you hit the person, FMJ should be fine in all cases though.
Set up camp around one km away from the plant if possible in a tree since it's constantly moving from the wind which blows radioactive particles away onto the ground and keep an eye on the cloud. Every morning you wake up make sure to give your tarp or tent a good shake to get contaminated dust out of it.
For food DON'T take canned food or anything that is in a closed package. The radiation will get stuck inside so keep everything in the open so it gets ventilated.
Water bottles are fine though since water blocks radiation. If you run out of water and have to resort to natural water deposits make sure they are atleast 3 feet deep and drink from the lowest possible spot. As I mentioned: Water blocks radiation so your safer the deeper you go. In lakes and rivers dive as deep as possible, sip and emerge.
In the unlucky case you get radioactive dust on you DON'T wash it off, you will just rub it into your pores.
