Chicago is mostly on nuclear and the reactor is quite close to the city, just over the Indiana border.

Closest is Braidwood which is ~60 miles from downtown.

NYC has large power plants in Manhattan (East River 1, 2, 6, and 7), Queens (650MW Astoria Energy II power station), and Brooklyn (Narrows 1–1 to 2-8) plus a few more.

There are no active nuclear power plants in Indiana. It had two planned plants that were cancelled in the 80s. Purdue has a very small power plant for research.
