During the 2000s, aging infrastructure, growing power use and fears of global climate change all prompted what was then called the "nuclear renaissance". Engineering companies noted that the commissioning process was a major barrier to further construction, and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission made changes to the system as part of the ...
Argonne National Laboratory was assigned by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) the lead role in developing commercial nuclear energy beginning in the 1940s. . Between then and the turn of the 21st century, Argonne designed, built, and operated fourteen reactors [21] at its site southwest of Chicago, and another fourteen reactors [21] at the National Reactors Testing Station in Idaho.

The groups say PG&E has delayed testing on equipment that could “cause a catastrophic meltdown” of Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Anti-nuclear groups demand ‘immediate shutdown’ of ...
The power station at Dodewaard was shut down in 1997. In 1997 the government decided to end Borssele's operating licence, at the end of 2003. In 2003 the shut-down was postponed by the government to 2013. [98] [99] In 2005 the decision was reversed and research in expanding nuclear power has been initiated.
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.
