Leading NUCLEAR-POWERED COUNTRIES compared by nuclear output in TWh

Nuclear power is used in many countries, with the majority of nuclear reactors located in Europe, North America, and Asia: United States The world's largest producer of nuclear power, with the most nuclear electricity generation capacity France Has the world's highest nuclear share of total national annual electricity generation, at about 70% Ukraine, Slovakia, and Hungary Get about half of their electricity from nuclear Japan Used to rely on nuclear power for more than one-quarter of its electricity and is expected to return to somewhere near that level China The EIA projects that Asia will have the largest nuclear capacity by 2035, mainly because of an ambitious building program in China Nuclear power plants generate about a tenth of the world's electricity. In 2021, 33 countries had commercial nuclear power plants, and in 15 of those countries, nuclear energy supplied at least 20% of their total annual electricity generation. Nuclear power plants are relatively cheap to run, but expensive to build. They use uranium as fuel, which is a common element found in rocks all over the world. However, the specific type of uranium used to produce nuclear energy, called U-235, is rare. Only nations that are part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are allowed to import uranium or plutonium.
