Research Web Sites Nuclear Waste in Granger?

Sites for research for Plate Tectonic Socratic Seminar


Weather/climate in the Granger area


Population information.


You can use Google to see a map of Granger. In this case (only for maps) you can site Google Maps as a source.


For comparison, you should see where the closest nuclear power plant (Cook Nuclear) is, near Bridgeman, MI. (It is just north of the Bridgeman area.)



Weather/climate near Cook Nuclear Power Plant


Population information near Cook Nuclear


Earthquake map


Information about nuclear waste shipping and storing in Illinois


A question to ask yourself is, “Why would a location want to store nuclear waste?”


Other helpful sites include the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, at http://www.nrc.gov/ and the Environmental Protection Agency at http://www.epa.gov/.
