According to data from the World Nuclear Association (WNA), the global nuclear power generation volume reached 2.61 million gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2024.

This production volume increased slightly, by just 2.56% from 2023's figure of 2.55 million GWh.

The production figure above 2 million GWh has been consistent since 1994, as shown in the chart. However, when measured since 1970, the volume in 2024 surged significantly by 4,513%.

The WNA stated that nuclear power accounts for 9% of the total global electricity production share.

The total number of operational nuclear reactors worldwide reached 437 units, with a capacity of 399,464 megawatt-electric (MWe).

Meanwhile, nuclear reactors still under construction numbered 74 units, with a capacity of 76,369 MWe.

The United States (US) ranked first as the country with the largest net operational nuclear reactor capacity in the world in 2024. The capacity volume reached 96,952 megawatts of electricity (MWe).

It was followed by France (63,000 MWe) and China (59,172 MWe). Japan, Russia, South Korea, and Spain also made the top 10 list.
