In addition to the briefing book, PSR also released a new mapping tool which allows you to see the locations of nuclear reactor evacuation zones in the US. The map displays both the evacuation zones that fall within a 10 and 50-mile radius of the nuclear reactor.

One third of Americans currently live within an evacuation zone.
