Plans for new reactors in the world

Nuclear power capacity in the world is steadily increasing, with more than 60 reactors under construction in 15 countries.
high technal news
The majority of the reactors on the order or are in the Asian region, there are big plans for new units in Russia.
Capacity Additional important in the creation of plant upgrading.
Programs on the extension of the life of plants, the maintenance of the capacity, the USA in particular.
Today, there are about 437 nuclear reactors 31 countries make more Taiwan, with a combined capacity of more than 380 GWe. 2014 This submitted 2411 billion kWh, more than 11 % of the world production of electricity.
More than 60 Nuclear reactors currently under construction in 13 countries more Taiwan (see table below), and in particular China, South Korea, United Arab Emirates and Russia.

Each year, the OECD International Energy Agency (IEA) representation of the current situation and even the reference and other, in particular of the scenarios for the reduction of carbon. World Energy Outlook 2014 had a special emphasis on nuclear energy and expands the scope of scenarios for 2040. In his scenario new policies to increase installed nuclear capacity is 543 GWe by 2030 and 60 % in 2040 of total 10,700 624 GWe GWe with increased mainly in China (46 %) as well as India, Korea and Russia (30 % for the whole) and the USA (16 % ), have a decline of 10% in Contre in the EU, but the share of nuclear energy in the determination of the increase in total revenues only 12 %, far below the historic summit. Low-Nuclear and so-called high-Nuclear case, 366 and 767 GWe in 2040 each nuclear energy. Low Carbon '450 scenario "is a cost-effectiveness of the transition to limit the global warming of the planet provided an effective international agreement 2015, which more than doubled to 862 GWe nuclear capacity in 2040, while the energy, emissions of CO2 in the context of PIC before 2020, then decrease. In this scenario, almost all new capacity must be built after 2030 with low carbon content.

"In spite of the challenges it faces, the nuclear energy currently has special characteristics, support the commitment of some countries will continue as an option future, " he said. "Plants Nuclear weapons can contribute to the reliability of the system of nutrition where they increase the different technologies of energy production in the system. For the countries imports, energy, there may be a reduction in their dependency on foreigners and limitation of exposure to the movements fuel costs on the international markets."

It is to be noted that in 1980 218 nuclear power reactors started, an average of all 17 days. This included 47 The United States, 42 in France and 18 in Japan. These differences are very large - performance was still on average 923.5 MWe. So it is not difficult to imagine a similar number order as in the coming years. But with China and India raise the speed in the nuclear power industry and an increase in the global demand for energy is a realistic is possible (but not at this stage) was the equivalent of a unit of 1 000 MWe worldwide every 5 days.
Increase the Capacity increased
nuclear capacity in some countries as a result of the upgrading of the existing equipment. This is a very good cost-effectiveness of the discovery of new capacities.
Many nuclear reactors of the United States, Belgium, Sweden and Germany, for example have increased their production capacity.
In Switzerland, the capacity of its five reactors was 13.4 %.
The United States, has more than 140 nuclear regulatory commission a total of more than 6500 MWe uprates since 1977, some of them "extended uprates" up to 20 %.
Spain has a program for recording 810 MWe (11 %) of their nuclear capacity by the modernisation of its nine reactors of up to 13 %.  Most of the augmentatio
