Three Mile Island has been shut down since 2019. It poses no risk and never has to the general public.

All of the nuclear plants are safely monitored and have emergency planning zones in case shit does hit the fan (which it almost never does)

Also, coal plants in the western part of the state are the real dangers. Nuclear just emits harmless steam, coal is a whole different story.

I could go all day talking about this stuff, but you're better off staying wherever you see yourself comfortable.

Patently untrue. Nuclear waste materials remain on site, and will remain on site for the foreseeable future.

Yes, but they're being stored in an on-site spent fuel storage facility. I've seen the dry cask storage containers they have there and they are huge.

Plus, TMI is built like ADX Florence in terms of security. Nothing gets in or out without proper clearance.

Containers being huge is no guarantee of security or lack of risk.

Thank you. I didn’t know it was just steam. I’m obviously not an expert in this so I appreciate your response and not replying with any insulting!
