Nuclear Energy Data – 2017<br />
(nea) Nuclear Energy Data is the<br />
Nuclear Energy Agency’s annual compilation<br />
of statistics and country<br />
reports documenting nuclear power<br />
status in NEA member countries and in<br />
the OECD area. Information provided<br />
by governments includes statistics on<br />
total electricity produced by all sources<br />
and by nuclear power, fuel cycle capacities<br />
and requirements, and projections<br />
to 2035, where available. Country<br />
reports summarise energy policies,<br />
updates of the status in nuclear energy<br />
programmes and fuel cycle developments.<br />
In 2016, nuclear power continued<br />
to supply significant amounts<br />
of low-carbon baseload electricity,<br />
despite strong competition from lowcost<br />
fossil fuels and subsidised renewable<br />
energy sources. Three new units<br />
were connected to the grid in 2016, in<br />
Korea, Russia and the United States. In<br />
Japan, an additional three reactors<br />
returned to operation in 2016, bringing<br />
the total to five under the new regulatory<br />
regime. Three reactors were<br />
officially shut down in 2016 – one in<br />
Japan, one in Russia and one in the<br />
United States. Governments committed<br />
to having nuclear power in the energy<br />
mix advanced plans for developing or<br />
increasing nuclear generating capacity,<br />
with the preparation of new build projects<br />
making progress in Finland,<br />
Hungary, Turkey and the United Kingdom.<br />
Further details on these and<br />
other developments are provided in<br />
the publication’s numerous tables,<br />
graphs and country reports. Download<br />
