In 2007, nuclear power plants generated some 2600 TWh of electricity and provided 14 per cent of the electricity used in the world, which represented a fall of 2 per cent compared with 2006.[1]
As of August 1, 2009, there were 435 (370 GW) nuclear reactors operating globally (and 52 units listed by the IAEA as under construction). A peak was reached in 2002 when there were 444 nuclear reactors operating.[1]
