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 a…

The natural reactor in Oklo is a great one! It isn't a facility so it doesn't fit the current layers, but it deserves its own entry: added in the backlog and will be updated soon!

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.

Heh, I hoped that might get a chuckle - sorry I missed the separate research layer

If you're an ESL (English as Second Language) speaker using AI assist for comments .. that might explain the number of [flagged][dead] comments you're getting (there's an AI detect layer at HN these days).

I've emailed HN@ycombinator and [vouched] the dead ones - fingers crossed.

As defrost suggested, your comments have been autokilled as our software classifies them as likely LLM-generated or edited/polished. Please don't do this on HN. The community here much prefers imperfect-but-authentic writing, and we very much appreciate the effort!

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.

thanks for your support! Im passionate about nuclear fusion as well, and there will be more projects to come from my side..! Feel free to share your projects in the community! Happy to take a look

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There must be tons of research reactors around the world. E.g. https://www.epfl.ch/labs/lrs/facilities/crocus-reactor/ runs at 100W and is used for teaching/research purpose.

Sure, and they should all be part of an Atlas that purports to map research reactors. Moreover, the entire continent of Australia currently lacks any pins .. so it'd be nice to get one there for Lucas .. if not for for one of the globe's largest uranium reserves and maybe for that place where the British dusted a future UK Prime Minister with fallout.

I have changed the UI, now both power and research layers are on by default, so you should see nuclear pins in Australia at first sight. Thanks for the feedback!

THanks for your support defrost. Indeed, Im from Argentina and I tried to improve my answers assisted with AI. No more asistance, but I'm not that fluid in english!
