Sources:
Reactor data: WNA to 31/3/06.
IAEA- for nuclear electricity production & percentage of electricity (% e)
7/7/05.
WNA: Global Nuclear Fuel Market (reference scenario) - for U. Operating =
Connected to the grid
Building/Construction = first concrete for reactor poured, or major
refurbishment under way
Planned = Approvals and funding in place, or construction well advanced but
suspended indefinitely;
Proposed = clear intention but still without funding and/or approvals.
TWh = Terawatt-hours (billion kilowatt-hours), MWe = Megawatt net (electrical as
distinct from thermal), kWh = kilowatt-hour
NB: 65,478 tU = 77,218 t U3O8
