Radiation
With the closure of Three Mile Island (TMI), Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station is our only remaining nuclear power plant within Lancaster County’s planning region.

Radiation resources can be found under the Tech Hazards tab.

Getting from here to there is important in today’s world. The goal is to provide preparedness and planning tips for those on the move, however they go. Under the Transportation tab there are resources for roads, aviation, rail, and urban planning.

The services we use every day without thinking about it is what Tech Hazards thinks about. Lancaster County is crisscrossed with power lines above from the numerous dams, while pipelines are buried below ground and radio waves streaming overhead.
