Ok, here's the plot I thought up.  If you guys like it, I'll post the IC with this story.

Twenty miles (32 km) west of Houston lies the town of Johnsville.  While there are salvagers in the area, it mainly relies on its Uranium mine to get by.  Because they can't produce enough power on site using VAWTs, however, all ore produced there must be shipped to Houston or Ft. Worth for refining, which decreases their profit.
We help them rebuild, and in the process have to salvage a nearby crashed ship in a rad zone and fend off Raiders and Slaver, not to mention zombies.

Edit: Added a tech sheet in case you want to add in tech, and altered my character's mutation a bit to give him a slight healing factor while metabolizing radiation.

Sounds like a great place to start.
