Reactor Atlas - Interactive map of all nuclear reactors worldwide

Reactor Atlas is an interactive web platform that visualizes every nuclear reactor on the planet. It offers a dynamic map, country-specific data, and comparison tools, allowing users to explore installed capacity, reactor types, and operational statuses. With real-time statistics and historical timelines, Reactor Atlas serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and enthusiasts seeking to understand global nuclear energy infrastructure.

Reactor Atlas provides an unprecedented, interactive view of the world's nuclear reactors, making complex energy data accessible and engaging for everyone.

    Nice site, looks like you had a bit of fun putting it together.

    Missing the Australian research reactor OPAL in Lucas Heights, Sydney - https://www.ansto.gov.au/education/nuclear-facts

    Note that while you do have the no longer operating Fukushima Daiichi plant, you don't have the ceased functioning easter egg natural nuclear fission reactors, such as the one in Oklo, Gabon.

    It seems related to address nuclear waste also - the filthy sites related to early nuclear weapons development, the surface blast sites during the testing years, current and proposed repository locations, various open pools of low level radioactive waste from mining, rare earth processing, etc.

    And, if you're going "full stack" - nuclear sources - Olympic Dam (sitting tight with large reserves), former African sites, Kazakhstan supplying the US and elsewhere, automated uranium mining in Canada, etc.

    Cool site, didn't know Bangladesh was building nuclear reactors. Good for them. Stable and affordable energy is paramount to lift millions out of poverty. Hope Bangladesh would get more industrial factories that is being moved out of countries like Germany.

    I thought the monitoring part was cool: https://reactoratlas.com/en/monitoring

    But why does it say stuff about hydropower? is that a translation bug?

    > I strongly believe we humans shouldn't code anymore

    It's okay to enjoy things.
