<http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/reactors.htm>.
Notes:
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 electrical (electrical as distinct from thermal)
kWh = kilowatt-hour.
Total uranium required: 65 478 t U = 77 218 t U3O8
** The world total includes 6 reactors on Taiwan with a combined capacity of 4 884 MWe, which generated a total of 37.9 TWh in 2004 (accounting for 21 per cent of Taiwan's total electricity generation). Taiwan has two reactors under construction with a combined capacity of 2 600 MWe.
