This article is about commercial nuclear fission reactors. For other nuclear reactor lists, see
List of nuclear reactors .
This is a list of all the commercial nuclear reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. The list only includes civilian nuclear power reactors used to generate electricity for a power grid . All commercial nuclear reactors use nuclear fission . As of December 2024, there are 419 operable power reactors in the world, with a combined electrical capacity of 378.1 GW. Additionally, there are 64 reactors under construction and 87 reactors planned, with a combined capacity of 69 GW and 84 GW, respectively, while 344 more reactors are proposed.[ 1] For non-power reactors, see List of nuclear research reactors . For fuel plants see List of nuclear reprocessing plants . Where not otherwise specified, all information is sourced from the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).[ 2]
In the following tables, the capacity (expressed in megawatt , MW) refers to the net capacity , or the maximum electricity output under reference ambient conditions, after deducting the losses within the system including the energy transformers.[ 3]
