Where civil nuclear sites face external pressure right now
Nuclear Risk Watch continuously correlates public hazard feeds — earthquakes, wildfires, floods, storms and conflict — with 294 documented civil nuclear facilities, scoring each site’s external hazard exposure by proximity, severity and recency, with a plain-English rationale for every score.
Exposure is not facility impact — it measures external conditions near a site, not plant safety.
