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] Some countries operated nuclear ...
The Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, the world's largest fully operational nuclear power facility. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The Gravelines Nuclear Power Station. The Cattenom Nuclear Power Plant. The Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant. The Ōi Nuclear Power Plant. The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.
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 May 2021, there are 180 operable power reactors in Europe, with a combined electrical capacity of 159.36 GW. [1] There are currently 8 power reactors under construction in Europe.

Nuclear power in the European Union accounted for approximately 26% of total electricity production in 2019 [1] and nearly half of low-carbon energy production across the EU. [2] The energy policies of the European Union (EU) member countries vary significantly. As of February 2020, 13 out of 27 countries have nuclear reactors.
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, is in Ukraine. The 1986 Chernobyl disaster in northern Ukraine was the world's most severe nuclear accident to date. Lack of coal for Ukraine's coal-fired power stations due to the war in Donbas and a shut down of one of the six reactors of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear ...
A heads-up. 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 ...
