Chernobyl was the only large-scale abandonment of a city due to a nuclear disaster in history. By comparison, Nagasaki or Hiroshima could be used, as they were the sites of atomic bombings during WW2, but the people returned after the blast, regardless of the radiation.
Unlike the latter examples, Chernobyl remained completely uninhabited after the 1986 nuclear meltdown at a power plant a few miles from the city. The population of Chernobyl was bordering on 10,000 people before the explosion, and the 2010 population census revealed that only about 500 people remained there after the meltdown.

In what ways did the incident at Three Mile Island differ from that at Chernobyl?
The Three Mile Island incident in 1979 was a partial meltdown resulting from equipment malfunctions and operator errors, with no immediate fatalities and limited off-site impact. In contrast, the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was a full-scale meltdown caused by a flawed reactor design and operator errors, resulting in immediate deaths, widespread radioactive contamination, and long-term health and environmental consequences.
Do any city-states still exist?
If by city-state you are referring to a single urban center that is self-governing, I can think of two examples. The first is Washington DC, which is mostly self-governing but is overseen by the US Congress. A more classic example is the Vatican or Holy See in Italy, where the city boundaries and the country boundaries are the same. I believe the Holy See is the smallest country in the world.
