Narrative:

XXX nuclear plant tfr just published. XXX nuclear plant not identified on chart. My conception of location turned out to be in error by a considerable distance leading me to believe I was clear of the tfr to the east. Found out after landing at my destination of my error. Made return flight under ATC control to be sure of not penetrating the tfr again.
