Nuclear power capacity in gigawatts as of 2008
A "business as usual" projection for 2030 according to data from the Energy Information Administration.
Proposed reactor capacities for 2030 according to official government statements drawn from the World Nuclear Association, Nucleonics Week, and major trade press. Country statements are taken at face value and do not necessarily correlate to any measurable indicators such as GDP growth or electricity demand.
Estimated new or expanded reactor capacities for 2050 based on figures from the 2003 study by MIT, The Future of Nuclear Power.
