[Related Interpreter](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/NuclearReactor.en.md) Entity["NuclearReactor", name] or Entity[...] represents an entity of type "NuclearReactor". Entity[...][prop] gives the value of a specified property. Entity[...][{propi, …}] gives the value of a list of properties. Entity[...][prop, {quali -> vali, …}] gives the value of a specified property modified by qualifier rules quali -> vali. Entity[...][Dated[prop, date]] gives the value of a property associated with a particular date specification. EntityClass["NuclearReactor", {propi -> speci, …}] represents a class of entities with values of propi defined by speci. ## Sample Entities * Entity["NuclearReactor", "AvrJuelichAvr"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Bruce2"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Chapelcross4"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Chernobyl2"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Hamaoka5"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Leningrad4"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Monju"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Phenix"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "StAlban1"]Entity["NuclearReactor", "Trojan"]**…** ## Sample Entity Classes * EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "UnderConstruction"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "PermanentShutdown"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "Operational"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "ThreeMileIsland"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "Chernobyl"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "FukushimaDaiichi"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "DonaldCook"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "Olkiluoto"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "Bruce"]EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "Qinshan"]**…** ## Properties | | | | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | | AdministrativeDivisions | administrative divisions | | AnnualEnergyAvailabilityFactor | annual energy availability factor | | AnnualEnergyProduction | annual energy production | | CapacityAnnual | annual net capacity | | Cities | city | | CommercialOperationStartDate | first commercial operation | | ConnectedToGridDate | connection to grid | | ConstructionStartDate | construction started | | Coordinates | coordinates | | Countries | country | | CumulativeEnergyProduced | cumulative energy produced | | CumulativeEnergyUnavailableFactor | cumulative energy unavailable factor | | CumulativeOperatingFactor | cumulative operating factor | | EnergyAvailabilityFactorCumulative | lifetime energy availability factor | | EntityClasses | entity classes | | EntityTypeList | entity type list | | FirstCriticalityDate | first criticality | | GrossCapacity | gross capacity | | Image | image | | Latitude | latitude | | LoadFactorAnnual | annual load factor | | LoadFactorCumulative | lifetime load factor | | Longitude | longitude | | LongTermShutdownDate | long term shutdown | | Name | name | | NetCapacity | net capacity | | NuclearReactorSite | nuclear reactor site | | OperationalFactorAnnual | annual operational factor | | OperationalFactorCumulative | lifetime operational factor | | Operator | operator | | Owner | owner | | PermanentShutdownDate | permanent shutdown | | Position | position | | Status | status | | TimeOnLineAnnual | annual time on line | | TimeOnLineCumulative | lifetime time on line | | Type | reactor type | ## Details * ``"NuclearReactor"`` entities include devices that instantiate nuclear chain reactions, often for the purpose of generating electricity. * ``"NuclearReactor"`` entity classes include power plants as well as collections of reactors grouped by operational status. * Some properties are available for the ``"NuclearReactor"`` entity type as a whole and can be given using the form ``EntityValue["NuclearReactor", property]``. Such properties include: | | | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | "Properties" | the list of available properties | | "PropertyCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available properties | | "SampleEntities" | a sample list of available entities (typically of length 10) | | "SampleEntityClasses" | a sample list of available entity classes (typically of length 10) | | "EntityCount" | number of entities available | | "Entities" | the list of available entities | | "EntityCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available entities | | "EntityClasses" | the list of available entity classes | | "EntityClassCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available entity classes | | "PropertyClasses" | the list of available property classes | | "PropertyClassCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available property classes | | "PropertyCount" | number of properties available | * The following annotations can be used in the third argument of ``EntityValue["NuclearReactor", property, annotation]`` : | | | | --- | --- | | "Source" | source information for the property | | "Date" | the date associated with the entity-property value (if any) | | "EntityAssociation" | an association of entities and entity-property values | | "PropertyAssociation" | an association of properties and entity-property values | | "EntityPropertyAssociation" | an association in which the specified entities are keys, and values are a nested association of properties and entity-property values | | "PropertyEntityAssociation" | an association in which the specified properties are keys, and values are a nested association of entities and entity-property values | | "Dataset" | a dataset in which the specified entities are keys, and values are an association of property names and entity-property values | * The following annotations can be used in the second argument of ``EntityValue[property, annotation]`` : | | | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | "Qualifiers" | the list of possible qualifiers for the property | | "QualifierValues" | the list of possible values that can be given to each qualifier | | "DefaultQualifierValues" | the list of default values for the property's qualifiers | | "Description" | a brief textual description of the property | | "Definition" | a detailed textual definition of the property | | "PhysicalQuantity" | the physical quantity associated with the entity-property value | | "Unit" | the unit associated with the entity-property value | * A qualifier value of ``Automatic`` indicates that an applicable format of values can be used; e.g. for the ``"Date"`` qualifier, this includes a proper date or date span. --- ## Examples (4) ### Basic Examples (4) Use ctrl+= for entity discovery: ```wl In[1]:= \[FreeformPrompt]["superphenix nuclear reactor"] Out[1]= Entity["NuclearReactor", "SuperPhenix"] ``` --- Find a property value for an entity: ```wl In[1]:= Entity["NuclearReactor", "Monju"]["FirstCriticalityDate"] Out[1]= DateObject[{1994, 4, 5}, "Day"] ``` --- Retrieve a dataset of all available properties for an entity: ```wl In[1]:= Entity["NuclearReactor", "Phenix"]["Dataset"] Out[1]= Dataset[Association[EntityProperty["GeoLocation", "Coordinates"] -> {44.143333, 4.711667}, EntityProperty["GeoLocation", "Latitude"] -> Quantity[44.143333, "AngularDegrees"], EntityProperty["GeoLocation", "Longitude"] -> Quantity[4.711667, "A ... yClasses"] -> {EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "AllReactors"], EntityClass["NuclearReactor", "PermanentShutdown"]}, EntityProperty["Thing", "EntityTypeList"] -> {EntityType["NuclearReactor"]}, EntityProperty["Thing", "Name"] -> "Phenix"]] ``` --- Find the nuclear reactors that produce the most energy each year: ```wl In[1]:= EntityClass["NuclearReactor", {"AnnualEnergyProduction" -> TakeLargest[5]}]//EntityList Out[1]= {Entity["NuclearReactor", "Isar2Kki2"], Entity["NuclearReactor", "ChoozB2"], Entity["NuclearReactor", "PaloVerde3"], Entity["NuclearReactor", "EmslandKke"], Entity["NuclearReactor", "KashiwazakiKariwa6"]} ``` ## See Also * [`NuclearTestSite`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/NuclearTestSite.en.md) * [`NuclearExplosion`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/NuclearExplosion.en.md) * [`WeatherStation`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/WeatherStation.en.md) * [`AstronomicalObservatory`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/AstronomicalObservatory.en.md) * [`ParticleAccelerator`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/ParticleAccelerator.en.md) * [`NuclearReactor`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/NuclearReactor.en.md) * [`NuclearReactorClass`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/NuclearReactorClass.en.md) * [`ComputedNuclearReactor`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/ComputedNuclearReactor.en.md) * [`NuclearReactor`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/textcontent/NuclearReactor.en.md) ## Related Guides * [Entity Types](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/EntityTypes.en.md) ## History * [Introduced in 2019 (12.0)](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/SummaryOfNewFeaturesIn120.en.md)
