Nucor Corp appears in the EPA Toxics Release Inventory as the parent or reported corporate owner of 81 individual facilities filing Form R disclosures under EPCRA Section 313. Operations span 26 states, and across all sites the company has disclosed a cumulative release total of 72.2M lbs.

The aggregated chemical footprint covers 559 distinct substances, of which 13 carry a carcinogen classification in the EPA Toxics Release Inventory. The heaviest-reporting state by release volume is South Carolina (5 facilities, 15.8M lbs), followed by Alabama at 11.5M lbs. The single largest facility disclosure is NUCOR STEEL-BERKELEY in SC at 13.1M lbs.

Parent-company aggregation uses the company name as reported by each facility on its annual TRI filing; mergers, divestitures, or reporting variations across subsidiaries can produce inconsistent attribution year over year. All values are self-reported estimates under federal community right-to-know law and are not weighted by toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI does not establish a health risk to the public, it documents the regulatory disclosure record.
