## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## IAEA PRIS Nuclear Reactor Scraper

Extract every nuclear reactor in the [IAEA Power Reactor Information System (PRIS)](https://pris.iaea.org) — operating, under construction, long-term shutdown, and permanently decommissioned. Covers approximately 700 reactors across 40 countries.

### What You Get

Each record includes:

- **Identification** — reactor name, country, country code (ISO-2), reactor type (PWR, BWR, PHWR, AGR, RBMK, FBR, HTGR), reactor model (e.g. AP1000, VVER-1200, EPR)
- **Ownership** — operator and owner/licensee organization names
- **Status** — current lifecycle status (Operational, Under Construction, Long Term Shutdown, Permanent Shutdown)
- **Key dates** — construction start, first grid connection, commercial operation start, permanent shutdown (if applicable)
- **Capacity** — reference net electrical capacity (MWe), design net capacity (MWe), thermal power (MWt)
- **Performance** — lifetime load factor (%), latest annual load factor (%), lifetime electricity supplied (GWh), latest annual electricity supplied (GWh)
- **Age** — operational age in years (from commercial operation to shutdown or present)
- **Source URL** — canonical PRIS reactor detail page

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `reactorStatus` | string | `all` | Filter by lifecycle status: `all`, `operating`, `under_construction`, `long_term_shutdown`, `permanent_shutdown` |
| `countryCode` | string | (blank) | Optional ISO-2 country code to filter by country (e.g. `US`, `FR`, `JP`, `CN`) |
| `maxItems` | integer | `15` | Maximum records to return. Set to `0` for no limit (returns all matching reactors). |

### Example Output

```json

  "reactor_name": "VOGTLE-4",

### Use Cases

- **Uranium equity research** — track operational capacity, under-construction pipeline, and decommissioning timelines across the global fleet
- **Energy policy analysis** — benchmark load factors, capacity trends, and country-level nuclear generation
- **ESG / climate data** — map carbon-free baseload capacity and retirements by country
- **Academic research** — full lifecycle database for nuclear energy studies

### Notes

- **Coverage** — PRIS assigns sequential numeric IDs to reactors. This actor enumerates IDs 1 through 1130 and skips gaps (403 = non-existent ID, 500 = out-of-range). Hit rate is approximately 64% (~721 valid reactors out of 1130 IDs).
- **Reactor supplier / construction supplier** — PRIS does not expose these fields on the public reactor detail pages. Both fields are returned as empty strings.
- **Annual data** — the latest annual row from the reactor's Operating History table is used for annual electricity and load factor. Reactors with no operating history (newly connected) may have null values for these fields.
- **Country coverage** — all IAEA member states with nuclear power programs are included. The `countryCode` filter uses the ISO-2 codes shown in PRIS navigation links.
