The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 20 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 16 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.
How to read the label
A4B5C_tI20_87_h_ah_b-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tI20, then the space-group number 87, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (O: 2a; U: 2b; Na: 8h; O: 8h). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
