The Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant under construction (now halted) This table lists stations under construction stations without any reactor in service. Planned connection column indicates the connection of the first reactor, not thus whole capacity.
This is a list of all the commercial nuclear reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. The list only includes civilian nuclear power reactors used to generate electricity for a power grid. All commercial nuclear reactors use nuclear fission. As of December 2024, there are 419 operable power reactors in the world, with a ...
Nuclear power plants operate in 32 countries and generate about a tenth of the world's electricity. [2] Most are in Europe , North America and East Asia . The United States is the largest producer of nuclear power, while France has the largest share of electricity generated by nuclear power, at about 70%.
There are already many maps of nuclear power stations out there on the internet. For example, the INSCDB Map s (example: Image:Ukraine nuclear power plants.png) [dead link ] have already been used on a number of other language Wikipedias because they are somehow released into the public domain or gave permission for the usage.
This is an annotated list of all the nuclear fission-based nuclear research reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. Some "research" reactors were built for the purpose of producing material for nuclear weapons.
The data for this map comes from the World Nuclear Association, particularly the following documents: World Nuclear Power Reactors & Uranium Requirements. World Nuclear Association (2009-12).

Russia is one of the world's largest producers of nuclear energy. In 2020 total electricity generated in nuclear power plants in Russia was 215.746 TWh, 20.28% of all power generation. [1] The installed gross capacity of Russian nuclear reactors is 29.4 GW in December 2020.
The first concrete was poured in April 2018, marking the start of construction of the nuclear island building foundations. The first VVER-TOI reactors Kursk-II-1 and II-2 were to replace Kursk 1 and 2 RBMK, which were approaching end-of-life. [6] [7] With two more VVER-TOI units planned, they will eventually replace all four RBMK reactors. The ...
