'nü-klē-ər power plants in the contiguous United States Chicago, IL New York, NY Philadelphia, PA San Jose, CA Los Angeles, Phoenix, AZ San Diego, CA Đallas, TX *PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY (10-mile EPZ) is, for planning purposes, the area within a 10-mile radius surrounding a nuclear station. The principal exposure sources from this pathway are: (1) whole body exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and deposited material, and (2) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. Houston, TX.. San Antonio, TX. Capital Cities Cities in the United States with a population 100,000+ (The top ten most populous cities are named for context) *INGESTION EXPOSURE PATHWAY (50-mile EPZ) is, for planning purposes, the area within approximately a 50-mile radius surrounding a nuclear station.
