About Reactor Atlas

Reactor Atlas is built by Federico Caccia, a tech entrepreneur and nuclear engineer.

I’m a tech entrepreneur and nuclear engineer. I turn complex technical problems into products, ventures and tools people can use.

Today, I’m building at the intersection of nuclear engineering and AI. My projects include Reactor Atlas, which makes the world’s nuclear fleet explorable, and Criticality, where reactor physics becomes interactive simulation. I’m interested in making deep technical knowledge useful beyond the people who already understand it.

I co-founded Rather Labs, an engineering company we grew to more than 130 people. Alongside ventures like TranscribeGo, it taught me how to take an idea through product development, build the team around it, and deliver technology used by millions.

My foundation is nuclear engineering at Instituto Balseiro, where I also completed a master’s in engineering. At CNEA, I worked on simulation and safety analysis for the RA-10 research reactor. Later, I brought that computational experience into software and financial infrastructure, including technical leadership at Membrane.

Across these ventures, I work from first principles: understand the problem, build something useful, and create the organization that can carry it forward. That’s the thread connecting my work in nuclear technology, AI and entrepreneurship.

Why this atlas

Reactor Atlas began with a gap I recognized while working in nuclear safety analysis: the information exists, but it is scattered across institutions, regulators, operators and records that use different dates, definitions and bases. A capacity figure may be net, gross or announced; first criticality, grid connection and commercial operation are not the same milestone; and two sources can describe the same reactor differently without either necessarily being wrong. Before you can compare, you have to reconstruct the context.

I am passionate about solving complex problems, and this was a gap worth closing. Reactor Atlas brings that information into one coherent view without erasing the differences: it keeps the source, date and basis visible so anyone can explore the world’s nuclear fleet, understand what they are comparing and return to the original record. It is the tool I wish I had: nuclear data made more accessible, traceable and useful.
