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]
There are different ways to play the nuclear energy space, but two of the most interesting right now are Uranium Energy (NYSEMKT: UEC), which supplies power plants with nuclear fuel, and NuScale ...

Great British Nuclear (GBN), formerly British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL), is a nuclear energy and fuels company owned by the UK Government. It is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero .
NuScale Power and Oklo specialize in the development of small modular nuclear reactors, designed to produce a fraction of the power output of a traditional 1 gigawatt-plus nuclear power plant.
BKW FMB Energy is the owner of the Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant and has a stake in the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant. Alpiq: Switzerland Electricity generation Alpiq has interest in the Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant (40%) and Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant (32%). It plans to build the Niederamt Nuclear Power Plant.

On the site two separate nuclear power stations, Heysham 1 and Heysham 2 operate independently, only with joint entry protocol, both with two reactors of the advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) type. In 2010, the British government announced that Heysham was one of the eight sites it considered suitable for future nuclear power stations. [6]
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.
