The question I have is how would I go about finding out if the Saxton, PA area is clean of radiation? I know very little about nuclear power. However, I believe that released radiation could contaminate an area for a century or more. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The nearest public library to the site should have some good info. Based on the radionuclides of any contamination event will determine how long for decay to occur. Get some info and post it, and we can give some specifics.

please share your definition for an area being clean of radiation, as our definition may not be well received.

Examples of my non-technical definition would be that my young children would not have an increased chance of developing leukemia/cancer/etc. due to being exposed to this property and that well water wouldn't be contaminated.
