Dark Side Nexus:1.Nathema, during the ritual Vitiate created the strongest dark side nexus ever before absorbing it.
2.Malachor V, before the MSG it had cityscapes and necropoli across the planet's surface filled with Sith treasure and knowledge, enough collected energy for Darth Revan to raise and corrupt his Jedi with. Afterwards it was strong enough to transform stormbeasts and is described as a geyser of Dark Side energy at it's core.
3.Yavin IV, described as far more potent than even Oricon, need i say more.
4.Ambria, a place that Jedi archeologists have stated is the strongest accumulation of Dark Side energy on record, triggered by a global ritual gone wrong.
5.Oricon, stronger than Korriban, Dromund Kaas and Ziost in it's potency, a complete hell of a world morphed by Ancient Sith, Dread Masters and even apparently the seeds.

"Active" as in, "not completely withered in energy like Korriban"

Considering all the Force Energy went back to it's proper place once the Scepter was destroyed, don't see how that matters. Byss still makes the list.
What's the source and/or evidence on that?

Withered in energy if you happen to live in 1,000 BBY. No specific time is specified in the OP; 4,000 BBY Korriban is assumed.
EDIT: Hell, the OP even specifies that peak power is assumed.
And you're wrong, Q. The Pool of Knowledge is a Dark Side Nexus. Also, I'm not under the impression the Throne is an actual location...

Kyle says that there stations on/near byss, likely through one of these was Tavion able to visit it.
@newguy. Well as of Bane's era it had withered and even more so(at least to my understanding) did it wither during Sidious' time.
But I did fail to read the comment about peak power.
The Pool of Knowledge and Font of Power should be the most powerful ones. The ruins of the Jedi Temple were pretty powerful, IIRC, but I'd say Yavin IV in the post-Kun era and Korriban in the TotJ-KotOR era were more powerful and are also among the most powerful nexuses in history.
The Home, the Star Forge, Malachor V and probably Dromund Kaas are also some of the most powerful nexuses in the galaxy.
Nobody's mentioned Dathomir yet - that could be a contender as well.

Actually, that was a mistake on my part. I misremembered the ending. Still, I don't remember Yavin IV staying the way it was mad in game, so there's that.
Ah, no worries.
Also, there's a reason for that actually, Tavion was draining the energy of a massassi temple, not the planet itself.
"But the area around the temple felt strange, like it's dark side was..gone"
-Kyle Katarn.
Some of Tavion's objectives in the game were to drain big places(Byss, Vjun, and potentially the valley of the jedi) while others were small, but powerful, focal points( Chandrilla and Dagobah) So yeah.
