Our hearts and minds are with the people of Japan and a lot people have a lot of questions, so hopefully this answers a big one for people wondering about the number of plants and their locations here in the United States.
With the unfolding tragedy in Japan many people are visiting a page we designed a while ago where you can type in your zip code and find out if you live close to a nuclear plant in the United States.
Note this is an image. Here is the link if you want to go straight to the US nuclear plant mapping tool with zipcode lookup.
We’re updating the info, but there is a lot of important information about the plants in the US and an interface with Yahoo Maps that pinpoints the location.
