Do you want to know where all the nuclear sites in the world are?
With the continuing disaster in Japan still in everyone’s minds, one can’t help but wonder exactly how many nuclear sites there are around the world and how far away they are. The Nuclear Sites iPhone, iPad and Android App provides that information.
The Nuclear Sites App is Available for iOS and Android
The Japan nuclear crisis is far from over, and it can’t help but make people wonder how many nuclear reactors there are around the world – and how many are close to home. Available for $1.99 from the iTunes Store, and $1.92 from the Android Market, Nuclear Sites answers that question.
All this App does is provide a database of nuclear reactors around the world; the site name, country, operator, number of reactors on each site, when they were built, how many are active or inactive and their capacity in MWe net (MegaWatt Electric; a measure of the electric output of a power plant in megawatts).
Users can search by country – so, for example, when I used my location as a starting point and then asked for the reactors in Canada, I got a list of seven reactors, their photos, names and how far away in miles they are from me. Whew! I live on the prairies, so there aren’t any reactors anywhere near me.
Users can search by country, reactor name, address, or even by proximity of a reactor to a contact in their address book. A search for the reactors in Japan reveals a map with a red circle around the two plants affected by the quake and Tsunami.
Because the App uses the current location of the user to make its calculations, it’s a handy app to have on one’s smartphone when travelling. You’ll always know where the nearest nuclear reactors are in relation to your position, so if you’re someone who thinks about that type of thing and is either curious about or wary of Nuclear reactors, then this is an App you might be interested in.
Are nuclear reactors something you worry about when you travel?
Great now Al Quaeda has directions and information to every nuke facility – nice going numbskulls!!
You think Al Qaeda wouldn’t be able to get that info without this app? The makers of the app are somehow privy to information that the general public wasn’t?
Why make it easy?
Duh!
Why don’t you include GPS coordinates Idiots.
People who live near a Nuclear Facility know where they are.
Why is this thing called an “app”? And why would anyone pay for this info, when it’s readily available on the net? What’s the next big app that’s going to be available, one that tells you what the likelyhood of you sitting next to a nosepicker on the underground is? Friggin’ waste of technology!
Big help, big help. And superlative news of csoure.
You don’t need to buy an app to find out where all the Nuclear Sites are.Look it up on Google for free.Why make some idiot rich by buying an app.
I google mapped nuclear plant the day after Japans big quake and they all showed up. I just google mapped nuclear plant again and now the ones in Canada and England are not showing! so in order for them to show type nuclear plaant canada or whatever country your curious about. It would be so stupid to pay for this app.
No don’t pay for the app
Pay for English lessons which you could obviously use
what a bunch of retards,putting info like this on line,for any terrorist to maybe do something dumb,people who put this on line are also terrorists,bunch of towel heads more than likley and or terror supporters,why not paint a bulls eye on it,jack offs
Murray, This should really be taken down. It is a easte of the Internet Super Highway. As much as it may be a app ( to some..) ’tis really a wasted app in the first place. Don’t advertise, please? There has to be something better to replace this for.
