Global Nuclear Reactor Data for Type Classification

March 2026 data provides information on nuclear reactors worldwide, focusing on Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). The dataset, created by jonblustein, includes geographic and technical features such as location, capacity, and operational status. It is derived from the Geo Nuclear Data dataset on Kaggle.

Use Cases

• Classify reactor_type (PWR/BWR) using features like capacity, country, and operational status.
• Analyze the geographic distribution of reactor types by plotting latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Predict reactor status based on construction and operational dates and capacity.
• Cluster reactors by technical and geographic features such as country and capacity.

Strengths

• Focuses on two specific reactor types (PWR and BWR) for a clear classification task.
• Includes multiple technical and geographic features per reactor, such as capacity and coordinates.
• Dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Limitations

• The exact number of rows (reactor records) is unknown, making scale assessment difficult.
• Specific column definitions and data completeness for fields like construction dates are unclear from the description.
• The dataset is a filtered subset of a larger source, potentially omitting other reactor types and information.
