NUCLEAR POWER PLANT INFORMATION

There are several on-line resources which provide information about the location and structure of nuclear power plants around the world. They also provide contact information (address and telephone) for plant operators.
  • World Maps of nuclear power plants are shown for the World, North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, East Asia, West Asia, and Russia. The address, phone number, and contact person at the plant, and a map of where the reactor is located are provided. Basic information about the plant (type of reactor, date opened, date closed, etc.) may also be available. Some additional information may not be available to the public. (International Nuclear Safety Center, operated by the Argonne National Laboratory for the United States Department of Energy)
  • United States This site provides information about all the commercial nuclear power plants in the US. It contains detailed information about the type of nuclear power plant, who operates it, evacuation plans, and more. This resource contains much more detailed information about US nuclear plants than the world maps resource listed above. If you have a slower connection to the Internet, you may wish to chose a graphics-free version of this website. (United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission)
