World Nuclear Outlook Report 2026
The World Nuclear Outlook Report reviews national targets for nuclear capacity and assesses these against the global goal to triple nuclear capacity by 2050. It assesses programme towards those national targets and makes policy recommendations on the additional steps that can help delivery the nuclear capacity required to meet those targets. It also reviews the current and future contribution of nuclear technology to energy provision and summarises the range of different nuclear reactor technologies available.
