Reactor Atlas

Explore nuclear power through the places, records, and history behind it.

Launch opens the experience on its own website in a new tab.

Why it’s worth your time

Reactor Atlas brings nuclear reactor information into an interactive globe with a historical timeline and technical records. Built by nuclear engineer Federico Caccia, it combines sources including IAEA PRIS, Global Energy Monitor, and Wikidata. Visitors can explore facilities geographically and follow the development of nuclear power over time.

The project also includes an educational wiki about reactor designs and a monitoring section that draws on public operational feeds. Its methodology explains how it handles changing facility names, different milestones, measurement definitions, and disagreements between sources. References preserve a path back to the original material. That context makes the atlas useful for exploring how individual facilities fit into a much larger industry.
