Thanks! Yes, Bangladesh is building two VVER 1200s, 1,080 MWe net each. Unit 1 is scheduled for commercial operation this year and unit 2 next.

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!

a reaction to 2011 fukushima event. The ironic fact: if you check japan nuclear power evolution, they just had a small drop and later keep growing, nowadays in top 3!

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! 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

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!

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!

Thanks! As I explained below, my first language is spanish and my intention was to provide fluid answers. Suggestion accepted.

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

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.

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!

Your English is better than my Spanish :-)

If you keep noodling on this then I'd suggest getting the nuclear stack down pat, then gradually integrating full energy mixes per country, at first just showing the proportions of energy use provided by nuclear.

Make things clear as you go - a countries energy use is more than just electricity generation, for example, aim for bright 15 years old as a target audience perhaps.

A good many people do want to see better "dashboards" for their planet, over all and country by country.

thanks! and your comments are in the right direction, I plan to integrate other layers of the global energy network, with a better visualization of nuclear proportion by region/country.

Thanks, and good catches! But OPAL is indexed, along with CROCUS at EPFL: they live in the Research layer (the toggle next to the search box); the map opens on power reactors, where Australia has none, which is why the continent looked empty.

Direct links: OPAL https://reactoratlas.com/en?layer=research&s=au-opal and CROCUS https://reactoratlas.com/en?layer=research&s=ch-crocus. Fair point that the default view hides that, I'll make the layer switch more obvious.

Thanks for the feedback! Al these are welcome and Im taking note for improvements. On the 2D map UI: you can select the 2D option right above the years slider. I hope it works as expected! Will update soon with the other improvements!

Sure! not a translation bug! The monitoring section you mention is part of the “signals” layer, where I’m tracking things like increases/decreases in power generation and grid contributions. I think this kind of data could be useful for operators and institutions. The Monitoring/News section, on the other hand, is 99% nuclear.

And yeah, fair point on the coding comment. I guess I still enjoy it too much! I’ll publish some piece of code fully coded by my own fingers one of these days

It would probably be good to be able to filter between the two. Personally I just wanted to see the list of events directly related to the nuclear plants. Since you know, that's what the site is for :)

ok! I'll add a filter in this page, looking forward to deploy an update in next hours.

I started my path as BE 5 years ago and now I run a blockchain company.

My strategy was: 1 - learn just the basics on each vertical (bitcoin, EVM, smart contracts, consensus protocols, game theory) - it wasn't difficult having a background as engineer 2 - get a job as PM/PO to be in touch with as many projects as I can 3 - get a deep understanding of the market needs 4 - start working as low level developer on a particular (selected) project, to understand the core and become an expert 5 - manage my own team to sell services (outsourcing) to other entrepreneurs 6 - scale num.5

I share with you a doc I wrote a time ago, describing the roadmap I propose to learn the basics: https://medium.com/rather-labs/the-roadmap-to-become-a-block...

Also, if you want to check my company, you can do it at ratherlabs.com

I wish you the best on this exciting path!
