An examination of the geographical contribution to the study of an important public subject such as nuclear power can yield insights into how our findings reach other scientists and policy makers. Traditional geographical journals have a poor citation record inside and outside the discipline. Outside the discipline, geographical findings are used most often when they have been published in the journals of other disciplines. Of American universities, four have predominated in the geographical study of nuclear power: Arizona State University, Rutgers University, the University of Chicago, and Clark University. This relatively narrow 'hearth area' helps explain the similarity of sub-topics and the dissemination of conclusions. If the scientific findings of geographers are going to find use in the work of others, geography journals must be supported within the discipline and publicized without
