301 nuclear sites and 779 reactor units worldwide on an interactive globe, with a timeline running from 1954 to today. Every unit has a technical record built from IAEA PRIS, Global Energy Monitor and Wikidata, cross-checked and corrected against primary sources. There's an animated wiki explaining how each reactor family works and a live signals engine that ingests public feeds to detect outages, power changes and regulatory events. Built by a nuclear engineer. Free, bilingual, no signup.

Could you build this?
Partial While the interactive 3D map interface can be created with Mapbox/Three.js via vibe coding, gathering, cross-referencing, and curating historical nuclear reactor data and live telemetry across multiple disparate databases requires intensive specialized data engineering.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a Next.js/React frontend integrated with Mapbox GL JS or Cesium for geospatial visualization and timeline scrubbing. The backend needs automated ETL pipelines to ingest, normalize, and reconcile structured data from IAEA PRIS, Wikidata, and Global Energy Monitor, plus scrapers/APIs for live grid signals. The primary non-trivial challenge is the ongoing domain-specific data reconciliation, schema alignment, and validation of nuclear technical records across disparate primary sources.
