Nuclear power by country

<a href="/facts/Nuclear_power_plant/IJj5pJUn">Nuclear power plants</a> operate in 31 countries and generate about a tenth of the world's electricity. 
Most are in <a href="/facts/Europe/DTAtrKfh">Europe</a>, <a href="/facts/North_America/djNjCQIl">North America</a> and <a href="/facts/East_Asia/D8yGVCQX">East Asia</a>.
The <a href="/facts/Nuclear_power_in_the_United_States/o4bALSwV">United States</a> is the largest producer of nuclear power, while <a href="/facts/Nuclear_power_in_France/VDzYz3hV">France</a> has the largest share of electricity generated by nuclear power, at about 65%.
Some countries operated nuclear reactors in the past but have no operating nuclear power plants at present. Among them, <a href="/facts/Nuclear_power_in_Italy/nbGY9AVY">Italy</a> closed all of its nuclear stations by 1990 and nuclear power has since been discontinued because of the <a href="/facts/Italian_referendums%2c_1987/XMRMHND4">1987 referendums</a>. <a href="/facts/Lithuania/dApVjLWW">Lithuania</a> closed its nuclear station at 2009 because it was of the dangerous <a href="/facts/RBMK/nFbFDLCf">RBMK</a> reactor type. <a href="/facts/Nuclear_power_in_Kazakhstan/80BWqlfk">Kazakhstan</a> phased out nuclear power in 1999 but is planning to reintroduce it possibly by 2035 under <a href="/facts/2024_Kazakh_nuclear_power_referendum/t9Rf45Ry">referendum</a>. <a href="/facts/Nuclear_power_in_Germany/Fz24gbDN">Germany</a> operated nuclear plants since 1960 until the completion of its phaseout policy in 2023. <a href="/facts/Austria/4qWIMIyc">Austria</a> (<a href="/facts/Zwentendorf_Nuclear_Power_Plant/yLjXWJYW">Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant</a>) and the <a href="/facts/Philippines/ARpmxXQV">Philippines</a> (<a href="/facts/Bataan_Nuclear_Power_Plant/TVTAgdc9">Bataan Nuclear Power Plant</a>) never started to use their first nuclear plants that were completely built.
Sweden and Belgium originally had phase-out policies however they have now moved away from their original plans. The Philippines relaunched their nuclear programme on February 28, 2022 and may try to operate the 1984 mothballed Bataan Plant.
As of 2020, Poland was in advanced planning phase for 1.5 GW and planned to have up to 9 GW by 2040. 
Hong Kong has no nuclear power plants within its boundary, but imports 80% of the electricity generated from <a href="/facts/Daya_Bay_Nuclear_Power_Station/tcnVrfkd">Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station</a> located across the border, in which the power company of the territory holds stake. In 2021, <a href="/facts/Iraq/pqYSFJw8">Iraq</a> declared it was planning to build 8 nuclear reactors by 2030 to supply up to 25% electric power in a grid that was suffering from shortages.
