Then you should get the Wikipedia page for TMI changed. That debris was simply MOVED.

Closure
Aerial view
On June 20, 2017, Exelon Generation, the owners of Three Mile Island’s Unit 1 sent to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission a formal notice of its intention to shut down the plant on September 30, 2019,[51] unless the Pennsylvania legislature rescues the nuclear industry, which is as of 2017 struggling to compete as newfound natural gas resources have driven down electricity prices.[52] Exelon Generation’s Senior Vice President Bryan Hanson noted that once Three Mile Island was closed, it could never be reopened for use again.[51] Hanson explicitly stated the reason for the shutdown is because of the unprofitability of Unit 1. Unit 1 has lost the company over 300 million dollars over the last half-decade despite it being one of Exelon’s best-performing power plants.
Shut down of Unit 1 can go in two possible directions, the first being the immediate dismantlement immediately after the radioactive fuel has been moved away from the plant. The dismantlement can proceed after the spent fuel is removed from the pool, put into storage casks, and the casks are transferred to the ISFSI pad for storage until the DOE takes them away to a DOE repository. Dismantling the plant this way will take anywhere from 8 to 10 years.[53] The second option Exelon could take is the long-term storage, which involves mothballing the plant and letting the radiation decay for up to 60 years on its own to a harmless level before completely dismantling the buildings. The advantage to the long-term storage is the lack of radiation when the dismantlement would begin but the disadvantage would be the possible lack of qualified workers at the time of dismantlement. Exelon would also have to pay for limited maintenance and security of the plant over the potential sixty years.[53] The entirety of the spent fuel will be moved to the Londonderry Township facility, which is another process that could take decades to complete.[51]
About 70 state legislators signed the industry-inspired Nuclear Caucus but made no financial commitments.[52]
In April 2019, Exelon stated it would cost $1.2 billion over nearly 60 years to completely decommission Unit 1.[54] Unit 1 closed on September 20, 2019.
Unit 1 was transferred to Constellation Energy in 2022 following separation from Exelon.
Decommissioning
Following the TMI-2 accident in 1979, approximately 99% of the fuel and damaged core debris was removed from the reactor vessel and associated systems and shipped to the Idaho National Laboratory near Idaho Falls, Idaho. Since 1993, when the initial cleanup of the plant was completed, TMI-2 has been in a condition known as Post Defueling Monitored Storage (PDMS) and is under constant monitoring to ensure the plant’s safety and stability.
Thank you Kevmo, but it is now time for you to go away. If not, I will be commenting on your upcoming threads.
No you should stop using BS. Yes inside the containment is radioactive and I would not walk in it. No the site is not so containmenated you cannot walk through it.
There are funds fully allocated to break down the dead unit and bury it. The TMI releases never amounted to anything that was any risk to the public. The material can be and is safely handled and can be safely stored. Problem is you are not interested in reality, your interested in playing a cut and paste warrior and do not even understand what you are cutting and pasting.
