Community Growth Around Nuclear Power Plants
分析了美国东北部4座核电站周边64个市镇1960至1976年的房地产价值增长率，发现离电站越近增长越快，运营后增长更高，但无法分离核电站的单独影响。
This study analyzes the growth rates of 64 municipalities around 4 nuclear power plants in the Northeastern United States, as reflected by changes in equalized total real property market values from 1960 to 1976. Annual growth rates were inversely related to distance from the plant, and were higher after the plants became operational. Growth rates for the host municipalities were greater than those for the regions around them. Although it was not possible to isolate the specific effects of nuclear power plants on growth rates, the empirical results suggest that at least until 1976 there were positive growth effects in the host communities.
