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%. [3]
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 ...
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.
