Nuclear power in the United Kingdom generated 16.1% of the country's electricity in 2020. [1] As of August 2022, the UK has 9 operational nuclear reactors at five locations (8 advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR) and one pressurised water reactor (PWR)), producing 5.9 GWe. [2]
Nuclear power accounts for roughly 60% of Ontario's power generation, and represents the baseload of its power supply. [1] The government plans to maintain nuclear power's role in energy generation through to 2025. Ontario currently has 18 nuclear units in operation.
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 ...

Bruce Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power station located on the eastern shore of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada.It occupies 932 ha (2300 acres) of land. [2] The facility derives its name from Bruce Township, [3] the local municipality when the plant was constructed, now Kincardine due to amalgamation.
On its formation in 1954, the authority was responsible for the United Kingdom's entire nuclear programme, both civil and defence, as well as the policing of nuclear sites. It made pioneering developments in nuclear (fission) power, overseeing the development of nuclear technology and performing much scientific research.
The advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) is a type of nuclear reactor designed and operated in the United Kingdom. These are the second generation of British gas-cooled reactors, using graphite as the neutron moderator and carbon dioxide as coolant. They have been the backbone of the UK's nuclear power generation fleet since the 1980s.
