Population Exposure Estimates in Proximity to Nuclear Power Plants, Locations, v1 (1956 – 2012 )
- Purpose:
- To provide a global data set of point locations and attributes describing nuclear power plants and reactors.
- Abstract:
- The Population Exposure Estimates in Proximity to Nuclear Power Plants, Locations data set combines information from a global data set developed by Declan Butler of Nature News and the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS), an up-to-date database of nuclear reactors maintained by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The locations of nuclear reactors around the world are represented as point features associated with reactor specification and performance history attributes as of March 2012.
