China now leads the world in total energy production and also produces almost twice the amount of electricity that the United States does, 4.4 trillion kWh versus 7.5 trillion kWh per year, respectively.

As of this month, China has 49 nuclear reactors in operation with a capacity of 47.5 GW, third only to the United States and France. And 17 under construction with a capacity of 18.5 GW. None have been shut down. Nuclear provides only 2% of China’s electrical power now, but the country intends nuclear to eventually surpass all other sources.

This is just about half of the nuclear capacity of the United States which has 94 nuclear reactors in operation with a capacity of 96.5 GW and 2 under construction with a capacity of 2.2 GW. But 39 reactors have been shutdown, many for no particularly good reason. Even so, nuclear provides 20% of America’s electrical power, and most of its non-fossil sources.

ядрен энергия в омереке прикрывается чисто экономически - при газике по 3 на генри хабе и при всех натуральных отягощениях (ядреная! безопасность!!1111) использовать старые реакторы еще можно, а вот строить новые уже явно финансовое безумие.
