Sources:
Reactor data: WNA to 26/03/07.
IAEA- for nuclear electricity production & percentage of electricity (% e) 5/06.
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 and funding in place, or construction well advanced but suspended indefinitely.
Proposed = clear intention but still without funding and/or approvals.
TWh = Terawatt-hours (billion kilowatt-hours), MWe = Megawatt net (electrical as distinct from thermal), kWh = kilowatt-hour.
NB: 66,529 tU = 78,458 t U3O8
* In Canada, 'construction' figure is 2 laid-up Bruce A reactors.
** The world total includes 6 reactors on Taiwan with a combined capacity of 4884 MWe, which generated a total of 38.4 billion kWh in 2005 (accounting for 20% of Taiwan's total electricity generation). Taiwan has two reactors under construction with a combined capacity of 2600 MWe.
