Abstract:
This dataset contains latitude and longitude location, as determined by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Shared Information Network (SINET), of selected NRC regulated facilities.
Purpose:
The Environmental Protection Agency defines Environmental Justice as the "fair treatment for people of all races, cultures, and incomes, regarding the development of environmental laws, regulations, and policies." Over the last decade, attention to the impact of environmental pollution on particular segments of our society has been steadily growing. Concern that minority populations and/or low-income populations bear a disproportionate amount of adverse health and environmental effects, led President Clinton to issue Executive Order 12898 in 1994, focusing Federal agency attention on these issues. Through their participation with EPA to address these concerns, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission produced this data set. These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Description:
This data was originally released by U.S. Geological Survey in 1999. In 2001, the GeoPlan Center downloaded this data in shapefile format from the National Atlas website: http://nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html. When received, the data was in Geographic projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980,Units: Decimal degrees. The data was reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN and clipped to State of Florida. DESCRIPT item was added based on NAME, and lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased. Fields with no values were deleted: Area and Perimeter.

Process_Description:
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) 2.) Upcased all character records 3.) Clipped to the State of Florida 4.) DESCRIPT item was added based on Name 5.) Fields with no values were deleted: Area & Perimeter
