Description

This figure shows the history of nuclear power generation.

The top panel shows the installed global nuclear capacity (in gigawatts), and since 1991, the fraction of that power which was actually available after accounting for planned and unplanned outages. The bottom panel shows the number of active nuclear reactors by year (in blue) and dashed extensions indicating the number of additional reactors that were under construction during each year. The average construction time was slightly more than 7 years.

Also indicated are the times of the Three Mile Island (1979) and Chernobyl (1986) nuclear accidents.

Data presented is from the International Atomic Energy Agency, principally "Nuclear Power Reactors in the World" with additions received by direct communication.
