Where can I find a map of nuclear power plants in the United States?

The map on this page. It plots every one of the 56 operating nuclear power plants in the US that EIA-860M reports for 2026-07, at the coordinates EIA files for each plant. It is a US map: EIA-860M covers the fifty states and DC, so a North American map including Canada and Mexico is out of scope here.

How many nuclear power plants are there in the US?

56, totalling 105 GW of nameplate capacity across 108 reactors in 28 states. That is the EIA-860M count for 2026-07; EIA technology "Nuclear" — commercial reactors reporting on EIA-860M.

How many nuclear reactors and nuclear stations are in the US?

EIA-860M counts 108 operating nuclear reactors at 56 nuclear stations. A station can hold more than one reactor, which is why the reactor map and the plant map in America show different totals. In the central USA, Illinois carries the largest fleet of any state; the state list below gives every count.

Are US nuclear facilities the same as nuclear power plants?

Not quite. This map of US nuclear facilities shows commercial electricity-generating stations only. Research reactors, naval reactors, enrichment sites and weapons facilities do not report on EIA-860M and are not plotted here.

Is there a nuclear power plant near me?

Pick your state from the list below to get the nuclear power plants in it, with the county each one sits in. The nearest plant to any address is whichever of those is closest — this site does not read your location.

What is the largest nuclear power plant in the USA?

Vogtle in Georgia, at 5 GW of nameplate capacity. The full list on this page is sorted largest first.

Where does this data come from, and how current is it?

The US Energy Information Administration's form EIA-860M, the preliminary monthly electric generator inventory, for 2026-07. It is a survey of plants of 1 MW and above; anything smaller is not in it, and nothing on this page is estimated to fill that gap.
