Ranked: Nuclear Power Production, by Country 🏭

// Thread ↓🧵
1/ Concentrated supply

Just 15 countries account for more than 91% of global nuclear power production

In the U.S., nuclear power produces over 50% of the country’s clean electricity.
2/ Chinese Growth

China, the world’s second-largest nuclear power producer, is investing further in nuclear energy in a bid to achieve its climate goals.

The plan, which includes building 150 new reactors by 2035, could cost as much as $440 billion.
3/ European plans mixed

Germany is the eighth-largest on the list but plans to shut its last operating reactor in 2022 as part of its nuclear phase-out.

France, meanwhile, plans to expand its nuclear capacity.
4/ Nuclear reliance

European countries dominate the leaderboard with all the top 10 spots, including France, where nuclear power is the country’s largest source of electricity.
5/ The Outlook

The World Bank predicts that the global economic output of nuclear energy is expected to increase 3.8 per cent in 2022 vs 2 per cent in 2021.
