This comprehensive report documents nuclear energy's role in meeting air quality standards by avoiding the emission of such pollutants as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides using graphs and maps. State-by-state charts provide statistics on nuclear plants operating, the amount of electricity from nuclear generation, and emissions of air pollutants that would have occurred without nuclear plants. This is Appendix A, State Facts, of the report. For the full report, please see "Meeting Our Clean Air Needs With Emission-Free Generation: The Need for Nuclear Energy"
