Description

At the end of 2009, 438 nuclear reactors were in operation, producing 14% of the world electricity. In 2009 no new reactors entered into service but the construction works of 10 new reactors started, totaling 44 reactors in construction worldwide. Such a number was reached for the last time in 1985 which confirms that nuclear energy is going up. (A.C.)
