Sources:
Reactor data: WNA to 14/01/08.
IAEA- for nuclear electricity production & percentage of
electricity (% e) 5/07.
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 years, or construction well advanced
but suspended indefinitely;
Proposed = clear intention or proposal but still without firm
commitment. Planned and Proposed are generally gross MWe;
TWh = Terawatt-hours (billion kilowatt-hours), MWe = Megawatt net
(electrical as distinct from thermal), kWh = kilowatt-hour.
64,615 tU = 76,200 t

* In Canada, 'construction' figure is 2
laid-up Bruce A reactors.
** The world total includes 6 reactors
operating on Taiwan with a combined capacity of 4884
MWe, which generated a total of 38.3 billion kWh in 2006
(accounting for 20% of Taiwan's total electricity generation).
Taiwan has two reactors under construction with a combined capacity
of 2600 MWe
