"The Three Mile Island accident of 1979 was the most significant accident in the American commercial nuclear power generating industry.
Although 25,000 people lived within five miles of the site at the time of the accident, no identifiable injuries due to radiation occurred, and the government report (Kemeny Commission Report) concluded that there will be no cases of cancer, or number of cases will be so small that it will never be possible to detect them. The same conclusion applies to the other possible health effects." Wikipedia
Me and my family lived about 65 miles east of the site; both my parents died of cancer. I survived Three Mile Island - I think.

We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here ... but that's neither here nor there.
You have survived. Yes. Thanks be to whatever.
And that then explains the lymphoma. How horrendous. And now, with our president pushing for more of it. "But it's safer now" they say. "Build 'em next to your house," I say, "and put the waste on the richest man's land--make no more people on reservations pay that price, nor any poor and working class folks of any color."
