According to World Nuclear Association data, the world generated 2,545 terawatt-hours (TWh) of nuclear electricity in 2022.

This energy was produced by 33 countries. However, approximately 83% of global nuclear energy came from only 10 countries.

The largest producer of nuclear electricity is the United States (US).

In 2022, the US produced 772.2 TWh of nuclear electricity, equivalent to 30% of global production.

Next in line are China (16%), France (11%), Russia (8%), and South Korea (7%).

This is followed by Canada (3%), Spain (2%), Japan (2%), Sweden (2%), and the United Kingdom (2%).

Meanwhile, Indonesia now plans to develop nuclear energy.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif stated that nuclear energy is included in the national energy mix plan.

The construction of nuclear power plants is also included in the Draft Law on New and Renewable Energy (RUU EBET).

"In the energy mix plan, [nuclear energy] is included," said Arifin, as reported by Katadata, Tuesday (9/7/2024).

Arifin said that nuclear energy has great potential in supporting the achievement of Indonesia's net-zero emission (NZE) and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets.
