According to the report, nuclear power contributed about 15% to the total world electricity generation in 2009 with an installed capacity of 373GW. There are currently 436 nuclear reactors in operation in 30 countries worldwide. The US is the largest producer of nuclear power generating 31% of the total global nuclear generation followed by France, Japan and Russia. Nuclear power is an important source of power for countries such as Lithuania which generated 76.2% of its electricity through nuclear followed by France whose nuclear share in electricity generation stood at 75.2% in 2009. In addition, 16 countries generate more than 25% of their electricity through nuclear power and four countries more than 50% including Slovakia and Belgium.
The need for energy security and growing emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions is driving nuclear power development globally. However, concerns relating to high capital costs and nuclear safeguards may hinder the development of nuclear power.
The report documents the growth of the nuclear power, showing its current status and outlook. The report also gathers statistical data on nuclear power generation of the top 10 non-OECD countries and provides the drivers and resistors in those countries.
Topics covered in the report include…
• Overview of the global nuclear power industry accompanied by installed capacity and generation of nuclear power.
• Nuclear power technology globally and economics of nuclear power generation.
• Current situation in the top 10 non-OECD countries by nuclear power generation and its outlook.
• Key players, drivers and resistors for the top 10 non-OECD nuclear power generating nations.
• Outlook for global nuclear power industry and estimated nuclear power capacity additions by 2030.
Key questions answered within the report include…
• What are the drivers shaping and influencing the nuclear power industry?
• What is the outlook for global nuclear power development?
• What are the technological developments in nuclear power generation?
• Which regions are rapidly developing and planning to add new nuclear capacities?
• Who are the major players in nuclear power equipment manufacturing?
