Before 2011, Japan was generating up to 30% of its electrical power from nuclear reactors. [3] After the Fukushima accident, all reactors were shut down temporarily. As of November 2024, of the 54 nuclear reactors present in Japan before 2011, there were 33 operable reactors but only 13 reactors in 6 power plants were actually operating. [3]
This table lists all currently operational power stations. Some of these may have reactors under construction, but only current net capacity is listed. Capacity of permanently shut-down reactors is not included, but capacity of long-term shut-down reactors (today mainly in Japan) is included.
The following is a list of Japanese nuclear power plants.After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, all 17 major plants were shut down.As of 2022, only 6 out of 17 major nuclear power plants operate in the country, operated by the Kyushu Electric Power (Kyuden), Shikoku Electric Power Company (Yonden) and Kansai Electric Power Company (Kanden).
This article lists the largest power stations in the world, the ten overall and the five of each type, in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal , fuel oils , nuclear fuel , natural gas , oil shale and peat , while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass , geothermal ...
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%.
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 ...
