It shows the location, operating status and generating capacity of all 667 reactors that have been built, or are under construction, around the world, ever since Russia’s tiny Obninsk plant became the first to supply power to the grid in 1954. These are shown, along with Switzerland and Iran, in the chart of “other countries”, below

In terms of generating capacity, the world’s top nuclear powers are the US, France, China, Russia and South Korea. If successful, the UK’s plans for a new generation of 19GW of reactors would make it once again one of the world’s leading nuclear nations.
