Why??? It's still there and producing electricity and without incident since 1979. And unlike, say Centralia, Harrisburg is still there too, perhaps unfortunately.

I'm more concerned about breathing pollution from coal plants or seeing land stripped for mining, or seeing potentially explosive natural gas pipelines snacked throughout the country.
