Free U.S. Nuclear Reactor Power Plant, Tornadoes from 1950 through 2008, G.E. BWR Mark I Like Fukushima and Those with Inadequate Spent Fuel Rod Cooling Power Backup

Nuclear Power Facilities and Tornadoes from 1950 to 2008
I created these maps after reading that two nuclear reactors shutdown during tornadoes last week. I wondered if backup power systems were adequate durng a prolonged extreme weather event. Note that there are currently 65 operating nuclear power facilities in the U.S. that have from 1 to 3 reactors each for a total of 104.

All U.S. Nuclear Facilities, Those Like Fukushima and Those With Inadequate Spent Fuel Rod Cooling Power Backup

Recently Beyond Nuclear petitioned the U.S. NRC for suspension of 21 atomic reactor licenses in the wake of the Japanese Fukushima nuclear catastrophe. Beyond Nuclear alleges that the General Electric Boiling Water Reactor Mark 1 design�s weak containment, inadequate experimental venting back fit, and radioactive waste storage pool are accidents waiting to happen.
Beyond Nuclear has also petitioned the NRC for emergency enforcement action for G.E. boiling water reactors (BWR) that have Mark I primary containment systems and that do not have dedicated class E1 power for cooling elevated irradiated used fuel storage pools outside a rated containment structure. This petition include the above 21 reactors plus 3 more for a total of 24 (nearly 25% of U.S. reactors). I created the following 3 maps. Reactor lists follow the maps.
