How to use the power reactor tables on pages 64-79 Starting on pp64 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 2025. These tables contain the most important top-line data for operable reactors, 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. Each reactor is also ranked by this criteria (a lower number is better). The data includes more than 400 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.. Dates cover the main milestones in the early years
of a
reactor..The contractors section includes suppliers for key parts of the reactor, including first core, reloads, steam generators (if applicable), conventional island and civil works. Units marked with a # symbol have been mapped with a high-resolution cutaway diagram. For more infomartion on specific units see:
