The following page lists operating nuclear power stations. The list is based on figures from PRIS (Power Reactor Information System) maintained by International Atomic Energy Agency . [ 1 ]
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 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%.
Apsara reactor – Asia's first nuclear reactor. 1 MW, pool type, light water moderated, enriched uranium fuel supplied by France; CIRUS reactor – 40 MW, supplied by Canada, heavy water moderated, uses natural uranium fuel; Dhruva reactor – 100 MW, heavy water moderated, uses natural uranium fuel; Purnima series
Calder Hall was the world's first nuclear power reactor producing power for a national grid, though its primary purpose was military plutonium production. At its peak, Calder Hall produced 240 MWe of electricity. Over the next ten years, nine more nuclear reactors were built across the United Kingdom. [145]
Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant (Russian: Смоленская АЭС [pronunciation ⓘ]) is a nuclear power station in Russia. It is located in Smolensk Oblast , in the town of Desnogorsk , approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Smolensk , 115 kilometres (71 mi) from Bryansk and 320 kilometres (200 mi) from Moscow.
The pressurized water reactor nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) for WNP-1 and -4 was being manufactured by Babcock & Wilcox. The B&W 205 design was ordered for WNP-1 and -4 as well as for the two units at Bellefonte Nuclear Generating Station and Mülheim-Kärlich Nuclear Plant [ de ] , but only Mülheim-Kärlich was completed.
