Nuclear plant construction
About 100 power reactors with a total gross capacity of about 110,000 MWe are on order or planned, and over 300 more are proposed. Most reactors currently planned are in Asia, with fast-growing economies and rapidly-rising electricity demand.
Many countries with existing nuclear power programmes either have plans to, or are building, new power reactors. Every country worldwide that has operating nuclear power plants, or plants under construction, has a dedicatedcountry profilein the Information Library.
About 30 countries are considering, planning or starting nuclear power programmes (see information page onEmerging Nuclear Energy Countries).
