What's a "nuclear station" .. does a 20 megawatt reactor count?

How about mobile reactors .. they're purposely hard to geolocate but their number is (up to a point) relatively well known (within circles).

Are you across the reactors under construction? China has a good number on the go and planned to break ground in the near future, both on their home soil and for global clients.

> and Africa specifically was sourcing lots of nuclear fuel for other countries other the years.

Not especially willingly as an active source. The Congo region was the source of much of the Cold War nuclear material for the vast proliferation of nuclear weapons, but various non African powers kept the area in conflict to prevent the rise of any representative government that would oppose that extraction.

It doesn't include all research reactors, for instance for South Africa it only shows the Koeberg nuclear power station but not the SAFARI-1 research and isotype-production reactor.[0]

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.

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.

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

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)
