Global nuclear power on rise as IAEA outlook surges for fourth consecutive year
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has raised its projections for the global expansion of nuclear power, marking the fourth consecutive year of capacity growth. As of the end of 2023, global nuclear capacity stood at 371.5 GW, with 413 reactors in operation. In the IAEA’s high-case scenario, nuclear capacity could rise to 950 GW by 2050, more than doubling current levels, with small modular reactors (SMRs) contributing 25%. In the low-case scenario, capacity is…
