Summary
A map showing countries which have or had commercial nuclear power stations.
Green indicates countries building new reactors.
Yellow indicates countries planning new reactors.
Dark blue indicates countries with reactors, but no plans for expansion or phase-out.
Pale blue indicates countries with reactors considering phase-out.
Red indicates those which formerly had commercial reactors, but which have all been phased out.
Brown indicates that the country has declared itself free of nuclear power and weapons.
Specific notes on status
en:Nuclear power by country
| Country | Plants/situation |
|---|---|
| Australia | has 1 nuclear reactor however it is non-commercial. It has no nuclear power stations and none are planned. |
| Austria | Construction on the Zwentendorf Nuclear plant finished in 1978, however a referendum was passed that did not allow startup. |
| Belarus | Announced in October 2007 that it will build it's first nuclear reactor. Construction will commence in 2008 and will finish in 4 to 8 years. BBC source. |
| The Philippines | 1 plant, the en:Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, was mothballed |
| Finland | Finland is currently constructing a 2 reactor European Pressurized Reactor facility at Olkiluoto. Older 2 reactor commercial facilities in Olkiluoto jan Loviisa remain in use. |
| South Korea | SK has many units of CANDU and PWR design at 4 different locations. Currently, there are multiple units at Shin Wolsong and Shin-Kori under construction, of which two are planned to come online in 2010. See en:Nuclear power in South Korea |
| The United Kingdom | The government has had pressure to both increase nuclear power generation as well as stop expansion. The Scottish government has turned down new plans and has mostly rejected new nuclear generation. England has a very complicated political environment for new nuclear generation, see en:Nuclear power in the United Kingdom. |
| The United States of America | See en:Nuclear power in the United States. There are over 20 plants planned and applications for the first COLs were submitted in September 2007. This means that groundbreaking may begin in a few years after the license is approved and operation is expected between 2013 and 2015. Watts Bar 2, which had construction suspended in 1995, officially had construction resume on October 15, 2007. |

This image relies on colours to convey information. However, the colours used make it difficult for people with colour blindness (at least deuteranomaly and maybe others) to read the information. Please consider changing the colours to meet the needs of a wider audience. A more precise description of the problem: "Considering decommissioning" and "No commercial reactors" seem too close to each other. |
