- hurts to see Germany at 0MWe in 2026 :(by jtreitz
- Cool project! However, the map-globe navigation feels confusing and unintuitive compared to a more conventional 2D map UI. Also the clustering algorithm makes labels “jump” in a jarring way during zooming. I’d tune it somehow so that it feels better to the users.
- I implemented several updates in the platform, based on all the feedback received in the last 24 hs. Thanks to all the folks that helped improving the platform!
BTW it was pinned as a resource in the nuclear subreddit, which makes me very happy: people is finding it very useful!
by fedecaccia - 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.
by winrid - This is a cool development, it has great information on worldwide nuclear facilities and energy production details, I also enjoy vibe coding physics/scientific apps, and I've been working on nuclear fusion and alternative efficient reactor designs for the past few years. Nice to see another scientist adapting to AI acceleration of programming and research.
- 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.
