Sounds crazy, make sure you don’t brake into any of these. What kind of hobbies you have?!

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 clic

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: https://nuclearstations.com/m

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

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

Keep in mind that I'm stupid in politics and economy and I did not invest meaningful time into studying them, but: I think generally accepted nuclear power is a literal threat to the German automotive industry. MB, VW Group, BMW, and o

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

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.

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.

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 intent

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

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.
