104 Nuclear Reactors: List of Nuclear Power Plants in US

New York (GaeaTimes.com) – Obama Administration has recently guaranteed billions of loans for new nuclear power plants in the U.S. But the decision of new power plants may not be heartily welcomed in every part of the country. There are already 104 nuclear power plants in the U.S. and some of these power plants allegedly have some radio active leaks. In this scenario, the question arises whether we need more nuclear power plants or not. However, here is the list of nuclear power plants in the U.S.
