Sounds crazy, make sure you don’t brake into any of these.

What kind of hobbies you have?!


> Why interpret at all?

a tiny part of points that come to my mind:

- education

- iteration on writing simple functionality

- loading and trying out several APIs to see what's possible (I use it frequently with Elixir / Erlang for example)

It makes life easier for newcomers to wrap their head around something and produce a good solution rather than a "working" one


But the "interpretation" is kind of in name only. When you run your program there's still going to be a compilation step, it's just the interpreter will merge it with the run step, and it will do it every time you run the program. I'm with the GP, I don't understand the advantage of this approach over traditional AOT compilation (actually this isn't even JIT, it's just deferred AOT).


Thanks, afaiu it's also a research reactor that did not contribute to the grid. Might add research ones in the future, even though I do not see how they would be useful.


Circles are not grouped in any way, just overlaid.

If you hover on the center of the circle you'll see all of the Chinon blocks (they're 7: A1-3 and B1-4). You can search for "Chinon" to see them on the list or just click the circle that will scroll the list to the section where all the blocks are visible.

Will try to find a more intuitive way to show the reactors that are located in the same place.


MARIA is a research reactor that does not contribute to the grid so it's not included.

I indeed missed the other two, added both of them (even though they have no ID provided by IAEA) here:

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 the map, but maybe it makes sense to create some kind of a list with them if there's a real need for such a thing.

> Not especially willingly as an active source. The Congo region was the source of much of the Cold War

Isn't France still heavily dependent on uranium from Niger, Namibia?


France's most recent source of volume is winding down | has wound down - they have other options for future fuel.

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.
is an accurate although qualified sound-bite .. at one point in time the precursor to

https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/campaigns/met...

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)


Research reactors are not used for energy production, so yes, reactors like HFBR in US, Petten in Netherlands are not included.

Maybe I'll add them later, but for this I need to first add sensible filters for clarity, otherwise it will become a mess and won't be as simple to see what kind of potential certain region in some country has.


Yeah, there's similarly defense reactors. For e.g. this site in Derby in the UK: https://www.onr.org.uk/our-work/what-we-regulate/defence/def...


There are more than 10. It's the Null Island location @hiergiltdiestfu refers to in another comment. Will add the locations to all of them once I have time to put all the coordinates in.



Ideally, this Null Island should not exist on this map I think.

I guess I'll need to research all of them and put a sensible location for each. e.g. Kumharia should be in India, not on the Null Island. Will do once I have more time for this project


didn't know about this one, looks nice but complicated.

Note: if you want to see individual stations, you can disable clustering on the map I've made on the top right corner there's a control for disabling clustering.

maybe I should make clustering disabled by default?

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.
