Breazeale Nuclear Reactor Safety Analysis

Description: The Breazeale Nuclear Reactor on the Penn State campus is the oldest operating reactor in the United States. As part of ongoing safety regulation compliance, maps have to be produced that show certain data layers, including estimates for population within certain radii of the reactor and an overview of the reactor’s environs including buildings and critical infrastructure. Created at the GeoGraphics Lab.
