All OpenStreetMap - nuclear: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Pqv And you can add an extra osm link / Wikidata link for any individual Nuclear Plants: example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5538984#map=16/49.084... And a Link to Wikidata : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q336735
Nice, thanks for the ideas and links! Might add this data to the map in the future, hopefully will find a way to do so in a user-friendly way without cluttering the ui.
We were building NPP based on VVER reactors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BBarnowiec_Nuclear_Power_P...
We're going to build at least one, the planning phase is rather advanced and real building is expected to start in 2026, with completion expected in 2033-2035.

What's a "nuclear station" .. does a 20 megawatt reactor count? https://www.ansto.gov.au/education/nuclear-facts How about mobile reactors .. they're purposely hard to geolocate but their number is (up to a point) relatively well known (within circles). Are you across the reactors under construction? China has a good number on the go and planned to break ground in the near future, both on their home soil and for glob…
A "nuclear station" is just a sound name I found because other domains were taken ;) APS is a widely used term as far as I understood from wikipedia. > Are you across the reactors under construction? China has a good number on the go and planned Some of them are located on the Null Island (0" 0" coordinates) I think, I'll add sensible locations for them. I don't think it's a good idea to include mobile reactors on th…
There's an NEA Red Book that's quite thorough. https://www.oecd-nea.org/jcms/pl_28569/uranium-resources-pro...
As the only government-sponsored publication tracking world trends and developments in uranium resources, production and demand, the Red Book is an authoritative source of information on the subject.

was considered definitive wrt uranium sources, it had all the Red Book data and a good deal of non government mining company internal data.
(late in day for me, I have better recall & resources to hand at other times)
> what came to my surprise is that Poland, Turkey, Scandinavian countries, Africa have literally 1 to none nuclear stations. Also, Austria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Austria Short timeline: - 1972: started building its first nuclear power plant - 1978: parliament decides to ban nuclear power for 20 years - 1997: ban is made permanent Note that the initial decision for the ban was even before Cher…
Indeed. I wonder what are the real reasons behind these bans in German nations. Can't believe it's just for political populism, there must be something more substantial.

Germany is a country littered with voodoo "medicine" clinics, to the point that they have even been integrated in the statutory healthcare system. You take those hippie "nature above science" people and tell them about the invisible danger rays and they will found the Green party, and the rest is history.

History has shown that German automotive industry has huge power, so things like nuclear ban, shady emission restrictions, etc. seem like just the tip of the iceberg.
Are you really insinuating that the German automotive industry is behind the nuclear ban? Why would they do that?

> Can't believe it's just for political populism, there must be something more substantial. Can you expand on what you mean by that? Also, generalizing "German" nations like this does seem a bit odd to me. Austria has a very clear and different history with nuclear power compared to Germany where it is only recently that they vowed to get rid of nuclear. For the latter case, it very much was due to events around the…
If Germany was so worried about accidents, wouldn't they have fights and serious arguments with the neighbors like France that is packed with nuclear fuel, plants, and the French character of seeking endless revolutions? Germany intentionally did something that they knew will hurt its economy, there should be a very profound reason for taking such a hit. Who would be ok to take such a hit because of a "fear"? My gene…
But there are other reasons ofc including lobying from russia and auto industry
There is a circle with 10 nuclear stations that is erroneously located (on the map) in the Atlantic just south of West Africa. That should be in/near China.
I think they also had a negative sentiment towards nuclear because Sweden built one of their (now closed) plants very close to Copenhagen.
Norway has so much high yield Hydro power that they would not need it.
(The difference between Swedish and Norwegian hydro is that the landscape is more dramatic so they can get a big height difference. Whereas Sweden has to rely on huge reservoirs to store water).
Both Sweden and Finland has Nuclear power, at the scale or higher than their population would sustain, and Finland opened their latest plant as late as 2023.

Not the same as the Ågesta reactor, which is mapped.
