Come on. You can drive nearly to the reactor itself and not even get a yearly background radiation dose now. There are a few hot spots where contaminated gear from decommissioning is stored, that's it.

People got cancers at increased rate, which is limited to less than two generations of damage. The range had expired a bunch of years ago.

Going into high mountains is a bigger radiation risk today.

As a bonus, you can just drive to Fukushima on a bike today and not even get a daily dose of some inhabited places in the US.
