I live 11 miles away from Three Mile Island (or TMI as it's known) and 30 miles away from Peach Bottom Generating Station and 60 miles away from the Limerick plant and 2 more 73 miles away for a total of 5 nuclear plants near me. Am I worried? Not the least bit

Approx. 60 miles from the closest commercial nuclear generator. Approx 45 miles from the closest college campus with its own private nuclear generator. Much closer to "abandoned" nuclear missle silos.
The threat of radon in my basement and exposure to yearly mammograms is more significant that the knee jerk reactions to those who never thought about nuclear energy plant emergencies and minute fallout from half a world away.
Worry about that which you can control and prepare for that which you cannot, within reason. Everything in moderation including hysteria. 
Be very thankful you are not in Northern Japan.  |

My state, unfortunately, has higher concentrations of radon than most other states |
