[Dataset] Every African Country’s Civilian Nuclear-energy Program – 20 Countries, Every Fact Sourced And Confidence-labelled (free, CC BY 4.0)

Disclosure: this is my own project – I built and maintain it. [self-promotion]

What it is: AfrPowerOS is an open, machine-readable tracker of Africa’s civilian

nuclear-energy programs – 20 countries so far (Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt, South

Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Zambia, Morocco, Algeria, Ethiopia, Sudan,

Tunisia, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Eswatini, DR Congo).

Per country: programme phase, IAEA milestones status, regulator, implementing

agency, planned capacity, vendors, agreements, research reactors, and key events.

Why it’s trustworthy, per record:

– Every record carries a confidence label (Verified / Inference / Speculation /

Unverified) and every fact has source URLs (IAEA, government, regulators, media).

– Schema-validated: python3 scripts/validate.py (no dependencies).

– Data corrections are welcome via issues/PRs – errors are expected, this is an

early-stage community dataset.
