World Nuclear Power Reactors & Uranium Requirements

Sources: 
Reactor data: WNA to 1/1/12 (excluding 8 shut-down German units)
IAEA- for nuclear electricity production & percentage of electricity (% e) 13/6/11.
WNA: Global Nuclear Fuel Market report Sept 2011 (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.   

 62,552 tU = 73,768 t U₃O₈  

** 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 2010 (accounting for 19.3% 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 810 t is expected in 2011.
