List of nuclear power stations

This page lists operating, under construction, and permanently shut down nuclear power stations. Note that most nuclear power stations operate more than one nuclear reactor. For more information on the construction/commission/decommission dates of individual reactors at power stations, see the List of commercial nuclear reactors.

The list is based on figures from PRIS (Power Reactor Information System) maintained by International Atomic Energy Agency.Country Statistics PRIS Power Reactor Information System

In service

As of May 2023, there are 436 operable nuclear power reactors worldwide. This table lists all currently operational power stations. Some of these may have reactors under construction, but only current net capacity is listed. Capacity of permanently shut-down reactors is not included, but capacity of long-term shut-down reactors (today mainly in Japan) is included.

Under construction

This table lists stations under construction stations without any reactor in service. Planned connection column indicates the connection of the first reactor, thus not whole capacity.
