Sources:
Reactor data: WNA to 1/12/10
IAEA- for nuclear electricity production & percentage of
electricity (% e) 3/5/10.
WNA: Global Nuclear Fuel Market (reference scenario) - for
U.
Operating = Connected to the
grid;
Building/Construction = first concrete for reactor poured, or major
refurbishment under way;
Planned = Approvals, funding or major commitment in place, mostly
expected in operation within 8-10 years;
Proposed = Specific program or site proposals, expected operation
mostly within 15 years.
New plants coming on line are balanced
by old plants being retired. Over 1996-2009, 43 reactors were
retired as 49 started operation. There are no firm projections for
retirements over the period covered by this Table, but WNA
estimates that at least 60 of those now operating will close by
2030, most being small plants. The 2009 WNA Market Report reference
case has 143 reactors closing by 2030.
TWh = Terawatt-hours (billion
kilowatt-hours), MWe = Megawatt (electrical as distinct from
thermal), kWh = kilowatt-hour.
68,646 tU = 80,954 t

** The world total includes 6 reactors
operating on Taiwan with a combined capacity of 4927
MWe, which generated a total of 39.9 billion kWh in 2009
(accounting for 20.7% of Taiwan's total electricity generation).
Taiwan has two reactors under construction with a combined capacity
of 2700 MWe, and one proposed, 1350 MWe. U demand of 863t is
expected in 2010.
