Publication_Date: 19971029 Title: Nuclear Powered Electric Power Plants of the United States Series_Information: Series_Name: USGS, Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 97-172 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, VA Publisher: USGS; Eastern Energy Team Description: Abstract: This dataset is a collection of nuclear power plant locations in the United States. Included in this dataset are the power plant name & id, utility name & id, state, county and, Federal Information Processing System (FIPS) code. Purpose: The purpose of this dataset is to give geologists and other scientists a spatial database of nuclear power plants. This data set will be utilized in energy research and cartographic projects. Supplemental_Information: Procedures_Used: A spreadsheet containing all power plant names and identifiers was received July 21, 1997. Many of these power plant data came with location data from the EIA-767 database. The EIA-767 data were then converted to comma delimited and Dbase files so that a point coverage could be created with all of the appropriate attribute data.
