I do not understand what does dots mean:

>Visualising which areas of the country are reachable by public transport. Maps with higher concentrations of purple show higher public transport connectivity.

How we built the maps:

We used our own public transport database to identify the lat/long of each public transit stop

We drew a 15 minute walking catchment area around each stop to identify the other surrounding areas with easy access

So a bus stop is a dot? Or a train station of course. But then it depends in the frequency. Maybe Germany has thousands of bus stops that pass once a day but Spain has less bus routes but more frequency. Also frequency does not mean anything if the public transport is empty.

Temperature of the steam is not that important because it depends on the generator system each nuclear central has. Maybe a bigger nuclear central has lower steam temperature but higher flow so the important point is how many energy is generated in the reactor.

Even that number is not important because it depends again on the generator system. So the data to compare nuclear plants is not how many heat they generate but how many electricity they do generatei in a year (maintenance stops can be quite long).

Largest nuclear plant in 2019: "Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s (TEPCO) Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Japan is currently the world’s largest nuclear power plant, with a net capacity of 7,965MW".
