World Nuclear Power Reactors 2007-08 & Uranium Requirements

1Â OctoberÂ 2008

This table includes only those future reactors envisaged in specific plans and proposals and expected to be operating by 2030.Â Longer-range estimates based on national strategies, capabilities and needs may be found in the WNAÂ Nuclear Century Outlook.Â Â The WNA country papers linked to this table cover both areas: near-term developments and the prospective long-term role for nuclear power in national energy policies.

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 = Specific program or site proposals, expected operation within 20 years.Â 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 U₃O₈Â

** The world total includes 6 reactors operating onÂ TaiwanÂ with a combined capacity of 4916 MWe, which generated a total of 39 billion kWh in 2007 (accounting for 19.3% of Taiwan's total electricity generation). Taiwan has two reactors under construction with a combined capacity of 2600 MWe.
