Changelog

What has been added to the site itself, newest first. For what changed in the reactor world this week, see this week. Atom feed.

10 Oct 2026
  • Outages: 28 more reactors are now matched to the ENTSO-E feed, 104 operating units in total. Spain (all but Ascó 2) and Switzerland's Gösgen are added, and every operating French unit is now matched. Beznau 1/2, Temelín 1/2 and Dukovany 2-4 are still unmapped
7 Oct 2026
  • Outages: Spain's Cofrentes is now covered, the first Spanish unit to appear in the ENTSO-E feed, and Cruas 1 is mapped. Spain's other reactors are added as they file
28 Sep 2026
  • Outages outside the US now also cover France, Czechia and Switzerland, from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform: 72 operating units tracked in total, up from 38. Spain's feed is queried too, but no Spanish unit has yet appeared in it to confirm a code for
  • /build-times/: are reactors taking longer to build, by the decade they connected
  • /vendor-trends/: has reactor-building concentrated in fewer vendors, by the decade construction started
  • /technology-mix/: which reactor technology dominated each era
  • /capacity-distribution/: the spread of reactor sizes, and how the typical size has changed by decade
23 Sep 2026
  • /plants/: the largest nuclear plants, ranked by combined operating capacity at one site
  • /elevation/: how close to sea level, and how close to the coast, the operating fleet sits
  • A CSV export of every correction applied on top of the source data
22 Sep 2026
  • /nearby/: find the plant sites closest to you, using your browser's own location; nothing is sent anywhere
  • Installable as an app, with a proper icon, and searchable straight from the browser address bar
  • /uprates/: which reactors run above or below the net capacity their design was originally rated at
  • /status/data/: whether each of the site's own live feeds is currently up to date
  • /data/api/: a reference for every live JSON and Atom endpoint the status Worker serves
  • Atom feeds for the changelog and for World Nuclear News headlines
  • CSV exports for the ownership and fuel supply exposure pages
  • Fuel supply exposure page and a table on every country page, from the sourced supplier table: which fabricators are documented as able to make each country's fuel
  • How long builds take, on the construction page and on every reactor design's own page
  • Biggest movers: which countries gained or lost the most capacity over the last 10 years, on /history/
  • Who owns the reactor fleet, worldwide and by country, from ownership stakes on record
  • Long-term earthquake and outage-check history, kept by the status Worker, shown on plant and reactor pages
  • Social preview cards for every plant and country page
  • /this-week/: outage changes, earthquakes and headlines from the last seven days
  • Print-friendly country briefs
20 Sep 2026
  • /compare/: put two to four plants or countries side by side
  • /age/: how old the fleet is, and which units have a planned retirement year
  • An alerts feed (Atom) for reactor outages and large earthquakes near plants
  • Embeddable cards for any plant or country, and two more CSV data exports
  • Two posts written from the site's own data: where reactors sit relative to the coast, and how old the fleet is
19 Sep 2026
  • Full redesign to the dark house style shared with the rest of the energy series
  • Elevation and distance to water on every plant page, from a terrain model
  • /history/: the world fleet, year by year, with an animated map and a slider
  • An operating-capacity-over-time chart on every country page
  • Nuclear outages outside the US (Ontario, Great Britain, Belgium, Finland, Sweden), checked hourly
  • The USGS earthquake feed, and recent earthquakes shown on every plant page
  • Zoomed maps on plant and country pages
8 Sep 2026
  • /news/: an automated World Nuclear News feed
  • SMR designs, accidents, and fusion projects added as their own sections
7 Sep 2026
  • Site launched: the reactor fleet, the fuel chain from mine to repository, companies, and daily US reactor status from the NRC
