How to use the power reactor tables on pages 64-79 Starting on pp110 is a list of the world’s operating nuclear power plants, by country. A similar list of reactors under construction starts on pp76. Data is accurate to 1st January 2024. These tables contain the most important top-line data for operable reactor, including current rating in megawatts electrical (gross), its original thermal power rating and plant performance data. Reactor type codes are A for AGR, B for BWR, F for fast breeders, H for PHWR (Candu), M for Magnox, P for PWR, R for RBMK. Data for the load factors section is derived from Nuclear Engineering International magazine’s quarterly load factor league tables which were last published in June 2020 (pp32-39).. Lifetime load factor is defined as the amount of electricity generation of a reactor since grid connection, compared to the maximum possible output based on its original capacity. Each reactor is also ranked by this criteria (a lower number is better). The data includes 437 reactors with capacities of 150 MWe and greater. Where only net figures (excluding power plant or ‘hotel’ loads) were available, they translated into gross figures using a generic multiplier of 1.035. These units are marked with a ¢ symbol. Another measure combining performance and legacy is also included; this is effective full power years, defined as the cumulative length of time operating at 100% power. Dates cover the main milestones in the early years
of a reactor, and also predictions of its end of life. The contractors section includes suppliers for key
parts of the reactor, including first core, reloads, steam generators (if applicable), conventional island and civil works. A list of abbreviations of these companies is included at the end of this book, as usual. Units marked with a # symbol have been mapped with a high-resolution cutaway diagram, now available for purchase; see
