1957 global power reactor status map (hi-res)

Fifteen years after CP-1, the first reactor, purred into action in wartime Chicago, how many power reactors are there? How many operate, how many are under construction? What power reactor designs compete for success at the end of 1957? How many nations have begun serious work with this revolutionary new technology? Do any of them have nefarious intentions?

These are all fascinating questions. For answers, read my book. Or download and study this gorgeous map, prepared by talented mapmaker Julie Witmer.
