Unfortunately I have no papers to recommend, as the practical side is not scientific in nature, but technical (or procedural) and the ones I used were not in English. Tech papers are generally localized in manuals, not so much widely distributed. You might find some with search words "radioactive fallout". But you must not make assumptions on scale, instead read many articles and just look for the common points.
If you track the path of the radioactive particle from the source with weather models, you quickly realize that dust is bad. Direct radiation is not a problem unless you're near, and even then you'd probably know it from all the wreckage and warning signs (and rude men yelling incoherently in space costumes and pushing you away). After that it's just a question of keeping very clean, which I already said, is a good advice anyway. Local water supplies usually get contaminated via rainfall (like the Tokyo 23区+5市 contamination), so that won't creep up on you if you can track the air currents. Food producers who lie about the origin of the food is another problem.
