Multiphase
Fixed, fluidised and trickle beds coordinate phases and catalytic surface.
01 / World map
Explore the world's reactors
Explore unit-level power-reactor records, research reactors, fusion devices, anaerobic digesters and explicitly scoped industrial sites. Layers overlap, and industrial site records do not automatically establish individual reactor vessels.

Source-linked research library
A reactor is not
one machine.
It is a family of ways to control the transformation of matter and energy — from nuclear fission and hot plasma to microbial cells. This atlas keeps physical principle, technology maturity and strength of evidence separate.

Understand
a principle.
Read the original examples, inspect their sources and check a concrete distinction. Change the reading depth while retaining the same evidence.
Each path has an explicit learning goal and a source-linked question. A correct choice in this interface does not measure human comprehension or validate a reactor. Read the learning guide.

04 / Taxonomy
Map the reactor space
Explore domains, families and subtypes. Entries include physical configurations, operating modes and deployment classes; they are not a count of mutually exclusive reactor designs. Follow claim history or propose a correction.

Inspect original claims and their dated Atlas observations. Propose a correction with a source and locator. The proposal stays pending until a curator reviews it; accepted data change through a separate source edit and explicit journal import.

05 / Decisions
Compare without false precision
Select two or three systems. Compare original descriptions and source context, then share or download the same data version.
What does an evidence label mean?
EstablishedPhysics and operation have strong independent support.
DemonstratedA phenomenon works; a complete energy system may not.
Active researchOpen questions, prototypes and continuing validation.
ContestedReplication or interpretation is not convincing.
ConceptArchitecture or hypothesis without complete
demonstration.
06 / Plasma fusion
Keep the star off the wall
The reaction is only the first layer. A plant also needs plasma performance, stability, materials, a fuel cycle, heat extraction and availability.

- 02Stability and controlTurbulence, MHD modes and disruptions create a dynamic control problem.
- 03Neutrons and materials14.1 MeV neutrons damage materials and carry energy into the blanket.
- 04Fuel cycleA D–T plant must process — and ultimately breed — tritium.
Evidence boundary
A plasma record, scientific gain, engineering gain, net electricity and a commercial plant are different milestones.
07 / Fusion landscape
Companies are claims, teams and evidence
A company’s approach is factual; its schedule and performance remain claims until independently demonstrated. This directory separates claims, bounded independent milestones and unsupported assertions.
Coverage includes catalogued fusion companies and projects. Unassessed means the supporting claims have not received an independent source-by-source review; company milestones remain attributed claims.
08 / Chemical & biochemical
Flow determines behaviour
The vessel alone does not determine performance: mixing, residence time, transport, kinetics and safe control do.
Membrane
Reaction and selective transport share one device: more intensification, more complexity.
Electrochemical
Electrodes and electrolyte couple reaction to current: electrolysers, fuel cells and synthesis.
Photo & plasma
Photons or non-thermal plasma activate pathways unavailable to conventional thermal reactors.
09 / Hybrid & frontier
Between disciplines — and evidence levels
A hybrid may be a sound coupling of subsystems or an unconventional claim. Similar language therefore needs very different standards of evidence.
Integrated, independent validation
Operational data, prospective testing, full uncertainty and independent reproduction.
Comparison and reference
An independent code, published benchmark or reproduction of a reference case.
Concept and verification
Equations, architecture and analytic tests — not device validation.
Fusion–fission hybrid
A fusion neutron source and subcritical fission blanket combine two systems — and two sets of problems.
ADS
An accelerator supplies neutrons to a subcritical system. Beam, target and fuel availability are coupled.
Nuclear + renewables
Electricity, process heat, hydrogen and storage coordinate as one energy system.
LENR / “cold fusion”
Historical claims of chemically induced nuclear heat lack robust independent replication. Keep them separate from externally driven lattice experiments.
Open critical sources →Muon-catalysed fusion
Fusion is established, but muon production and finite cycling prevent useful energy gain.
Cavitation & commercial claims
These require preregistered blind tests, precise calorimetry and nuclear products in the expected ratio.

public texts. anulum/scpn-* repositories are user
