List of nuclear power plants

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of nuclear power plants contains all nuclear power plants worldwide that are used for the commercial generation of electrical energy . Not only the power plants currently in operation are listed, but also those that have been shut down and those that are currently under construction. (Planned nuclear power plants and those whose construction has finally been stopped, research reactors , interim storage facilities and repositories as well as reprocessing plants are listed in the list of nuclear facilities .)

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), 440 reactors with a total installed electrical net output of around 389.340  gigawatts (GWe) are in operation to generate electricity (as of July 20, 2020). 50 reactors are under construction, according to the IAEA there are 52, but this also includes the 2 blocks in Lungmen / Taiwan , the construction of which was stopped in 2015. At least 189 reactor blocks with a total installed capacity of 84,841 MW were decommissioned by July 2020 for various reasons.

The list gives, broken down by continent and individual country, information about the name or designation of the nuclear power plant and the reactor block, the type of reactor, the net and gross output, when it was commissioned or decommissioned and the electrical energy generated since Installation. There is also a list of the nuclear reactors with the highest annual production .

Status of commercial use of nuclear power (as of June 2017)

history

The reactors of the Beznau nuclear power plant - the oldest commercially used nuclear power plant in the world

Important development points

On June 26, 1954, the Obninsk nuclear power plant in what was then the Soviet Union was the world's first nuclear power plant that supplied electrical energy to a public power grid.

On August 27, 1956, Calder Hall in Great Britain was the first commercial nuclear power plant in the world to go online with an output of 50 MW.

1973 went in Kazakh Aktau (formerly Shevchenko , USSR ) the world's first fast breeder reactor ( BN-350 ) in operation, has not been used for research purposes, but for energy; Among other things, it was used to desalinate seawater.

After the Oldbury nuclear power plant in Great Britain, which went into operation on November 7, 1967, was taken offline at the end of February 2012, the Beznau (Switzerland) nuclear power plant, with Unit 1 which went into operation on September 1, 1969, is the oldest still in Operating nuclear power plant in the world.

The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Japan, which is in a long-term standstill, is currently the most powerful nuclear energy generation plant in the world with its seven reactor blocks and a total installed capacity of 8,212 MW.

The two EPRs of the Taishan nuclear power plant in China are currently the most powerful reactor units in the world with a gross output of 1,660 MW each (1 unit is currently still under construction).

Growth in generating capacity

After the first civil nuclear power plants had already gone into operation in the 1950s and further power plant units were built in the 1960s, the use of civilian nuclear energy enjoyed a rapid upswing, particularly between 1970 and 1990. While the worldwide electricity generation capacity from nuclear energy was around 16 GW in 1970 , it rose to 328 GW in the next two decades until 1990. After that, the development was much slower. In 2005 the installed capacity was 369 GW, in 2011 it was 366 GW. Currently (at the end of 2019) there are officially 50 nuclear power plants under construction, but the completion of many of these reactors is questionable. 11 of these reactor blocks have been under construction since the 1980s. 10 plants are under construction in China.

status
Indicates whether the nuclear power plant is still under construction, in operation or decommissioned.
Net power
The electrical net power of the reactor block in megawatts, which is calculated by the gross power minus the power plant's own consumption of ancillary and auxiliary systems. The net power is the maximum power that can be fed into the grid.
Gross output
The gross electrical output ( nominal output ) of the generator in megawatts.
Activation
The date of activation is the day when electrical energy is first fed into the power grid ( "first grid connection" ). For nuclear power plants that are still under construction, the planned commissioning is given in brackets.
Shutdown
Day of the shutdown of the nuclear power plant. In the case of power plants that are still in operation, the year of the planned shutdown is given in brackets.

Japan

In Japan there are 17 nuclear power plants with 54 reactor blocks and a total installed capacity of 49,112 MW. Two further reactor blocks with a total gross output of 2,756 MW are under construction, six with a total gross output of 2,004 MW have already been decommissioned.

The Japan Power Demonstration Reactor (JPDR) was commissioned on October 26, 1963 as the first nuclear reactor in Asia. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant , with its seven reactor blocks and an installed gross output of 8,212 MW, is the most powerful in Japan and also the most powerful in the world. With a gross output of 1356 MW each, units 6 & 7 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa power plant are currently the most powerful. In the aftermath of the Tōhoku earthquake on March 11, 2011, several nuclear power plants had to be shut down and a series of accidents that had continued to date occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant . The first events in Block 1 were provisionally assigned to level INES 4 by the Japanese nuclear regulatory authority on March 12, 2011 . Further events, in which experts believe that there was at least partial core meltdowns in units 1, 2 and 3, was rated INES 6 on March 15 by the French nuclear safety authority, Autorité de sûreté nucléaire (ASN) . In the meantime, INES level 7 has been set for these events.

Under Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda , the restructuring of the energy sector ( energy transition ) and the long-term phase-out of nuclear energy by the year 2040 began.

Before the Fukushima catastrophe in Japan, nuclear energy accounted for 30 percent of total electricity generation and was the third largest annual electricity generation from nuclear energy worldwide. In 2012, the share of nuclear energy was two percent.

Philippines

The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, built from 1976 to 1986 under dictator Ferdinand Marcos with a pressurized water reactor by Westinghouse with 621 MW, was not put into operation due to the takeover of government by Corazon Aquino and under the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster . By 1984, the cost had risen from the original $ 500 million for two blocks to $ 2.3 billion for one block.

South Korea

Currently, 23 reactor blocks are operated at 4 locations in South Korea , 5 further reactor blocks are under construction, 2 have already been decommissioned. The first commercially used reactor block went into operation in 1977. All data were taken from the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) of the IAEA (as of February 2019):

Europe

In Europe (excluding the Caucasus states, including Russia and Turkey) are (as of January 2020)

  • 73 nuclear power plants in 17 countries with 183 reactor blocks on the grid.
  • 14 reactor blocks under construction in eight countries.
  • 111 reactor units shut down in 14 countries.

On June 26, 1954, the Obninsk nuclear power plant in Russia was the first in Europe to go into operation.

The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in the Ukraine is the most powerful with its six reactor blocks and an installed gross output of 6,000 MW. The two reactor blocks from Civaux in France are the most powerful in the world with a gross output of 1,561 MW each.

Belgium

In Belgium there are two nuclear power plants with seven reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 5,948 MW on the grid. Nuclear energy had a share of 54 percent of total electricity generation in Belgium in 2011; According to the IAEA, the proportion is currently 39% (as of November 2019).

The reactor block 3 of the Doel nuclear power plant was shut down until further notice in August 2012, as cracks were discovered in the reactor pressure vessel. According to the AFCN, "numerous indications" of defects in the steel of the reactor vessel have been discovered. In July 2012, the government announced the extended remaining life of the remaining reactors.

Due to the shutdown of the two defective reactors Doel 3 and Tihange 2 and a prolonged failure of Doel 4 supposedly due to manipulation, the Belgian parliament decided in June 2015 to extend the service life to 2025 for the two reactors Doel 1 and Doel 1 and intended to be decommissioned for economic reasons 2. Since nuclear energy accounts for over 50 percent of total electricity generation in Belgium, the phase-out could also be extended beyond 2025.

Nuclear power plants in Germany
Isar 2 nuclear power plant - the most powerful reactor block in Germany

In Germany there are six nuclear power plants with six reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 8,113 MW on the grid. 29 reactor blocks with a total gross output of 18,279 MW have already been decommissioned. The Kahl nuclear power plant was the first nuclear power plant in Germany to go into operation on June 17, 1961. Until December 31, 2017, the Gundremmingen nuclear power plant was the most powerful nuclear power plant in Germany with its two reactor units in operation and an installed gross output of 2,572 MW. With a gross output of 1,480 MW, the Brokdorf reactor block is the second strongest in Germany.

Up until 2010, nuclear energy had the second largest share of electricity generation in Germany (2008: 23.3%), just behind lignite. It provided 12.5 percent of the primary energy input or (due to waste heat losses) 5.7 percent of the total usable energy generation . This put Germany in fourth place worldwide in terms of annual electricity generation from nuclear energy. The base load share (round-the-clock availability) of nuclear power was up to 48 percent, albeit with considerable fluctuations due to often unpredictable reactor downtimes. After the shutdown of eight older reactor blocks in 2011, the remaining reactors should contribute around 15 percent to electricity generation. In 2013 this value was around 17 percent. This fell further in the following years to 13.1 percent.

Nuclear facilities in France

In France there are 18 nuclear power plants with 56 reactor blocks and a total installed net capacity of 61,370 MW on the grid. 5 nuclear power plants and 14 reactor blocks with a total net output of 5,549 MW have already been shut down. An EPR reactor with a net output of 1,600 MW is under construction at the Flamanville nuclear power plant . In France, the G-2 reactor unit was the first to go into operation on May 22, 1959. Block 2 of the Bugey nuclear power plant is the oldest reactor still in operation; it was commissioned in May 1978. The Gravelines nuclear power plant is the most powerful with its six reactor blocks and an installed net output of 5,460 MW. Until Taishan 1 was commissioned in December 2018, the two reactor blocks from Civaux were the most powerful in the world, each with a net output of 1495 MW.

In France, nuclear energy accounts for 78 percent of total electricity generation and ranks second in the world in terms of annual electricity generation from nuclear energy after the leading USA.

Ireland

The first nuclear power plant was planned in Ireland since 1968; it was to be built at Carnsore Point, County Wexford . Initially only one reactor was planned, later four. The plan was abandoned after strong protests by Irish opponents of nuclear power in the late 1970s. Ireland does not operate any nuclear power plants.

Italy

There are no nuclear power plants on the grid in Italy . Four nuclear power plants, each with one reactor block and a gross total output of 1,472 MW, were shut down prematurely after the Chernobyl accident in 1986 for political reasons.

In May 2008, Silvio Berlusconi announced a return to the use of nuclear energy with the construction of several nuclear power plants in Italy in cooperation with France; the plan was to begin within the next five years. The French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi signed a framework agreement on the use of nuclear power on February 24, 2009. Thereafter, at least four new EPRs should be set up in Italy . On June 13, 2011, the Italians spoke out against re-entry in an anti-nuclear referendum.

Lithuania

A nuclear power plant with two reactor blocks was in operation in Lithuania from 1983 to 2009. The two reactors were shut down on December 31, 2009 in accordance with an agreement between Lithuania and the EU. Nuclear energy accounted for up to 70 percent of total electricity generation in Lithuania during this period.

The Lithuanian government was planning a return to the use of nuclear energy and the construction of reactors for the Hitachi group at the Visaginas site . In a referendum on October 15, 2012 , the majority of the Lithuanian population spoke out against re-entry. Although the referendum is not legally binding, Algirdas Butkevičius , who was elected Prime Minister of Lithuania on the same day, announced in December 2012 that he wanted to “respect the will of the Lithuanians”. This makes Lithuania the third country in the world, after Italy and Kazakhstan, that has decommissioned all of its commercial nuclear power plants and thus in effect completed a complete nuclear phase-out .

Netherlands

In the Netherlands, there is a nuclear power plant with one reactor block and an installed net output of 482 MW on the grid. A nuclear power plant with a further reactor block and a gross output of 60 MW has already been shut down. Construction plans for a second block at the Borssele site were postponed in 2012 for economic reasons. In 2011, nuclear energy accounted for four percent of total electricity generation in the Netherlands; According to the IAEA, the proportion is currently 3.05% (as of December 2019).

Austria

There is only one nuclear power plant in Austria, namely the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant .

It was a planned boiling water reactor, which should ultimately have a net output of 672 megawatts. The start of the project for this power plant began on May 1, 1971 under the then Kreisky government and only 21 days later the building permit was granted. After the completion of the nuclear power plant, there was a referendum on November 5, 1978, in which 50.47 percent of the Austrian population decided against commissioning the reactor. So the government had no choice but to shut down the project.

As a result of this referendum, Austria even passed an atomic prohibition law with constitutional status , which forbids any future construction of a nuclear power plant on Austrian territory.

The Zwentendorf nuclear power plant is still the largest investment ruin in the Republic of Austria. To this day it has never been put into operation and is still referred to by nuclear opponents as one of the greatest successes and memorial. The non-ignited fuel that had already been delivered, as well as system components, were sold. The system continues to serve as a spare parts supplier for similar systems, as a - clean - training facility for security guards and executives, guided tours are organized for interested parties and tourists. Saxophonist Martin Küchen used the hall and the emergency condensation boiler in 2013 as a reverberation and resonance space for experimental music.

Poland

In Poland, the construction of two reactors that had begun and two planned reactors at the Żarnowiec nuclear power plant was stopped in 1990 due to protests. In 2007 the Polish government decided to build two new nuclear power plants. Despite negative referendums, a final decision on the location of the first Polish nuclear power plant was planned for 2017 or 2018. However, there are currently no nuclear power plants in Poland.

Romania

In Romania there is a nuclear power plant with two reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 1,300 MW on the grid. The completion of two reactor blocks that have been under construction for a long time with a gross total output of 1,412 MW is uncertain. In 2011, nuclear energy accounted for 19 percent of total electricity generation in Romania; According to the IAEA, the proportion is currently 17.2% (as of December 2019).

Russia

In Russia there are currently ten nuclear power plants with 35 reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 25,950 MW on the grid. Three further reactor blocks with a total net output of 3,315 MW are under construction, six with a total gross output of 1171 MW have already been decommissioned.

In Russia, the Obninsk nuclear power plant was the first to go into operation in the world on June 26, 1954. The Novovoronezh 4 reactor block is the oldest still in use. It was put into operation on December 27, 1971. The Balakowo , Kursk and Leningrad (Sosnowy Bor) nuclear power plants are the most powerful with their four reactor blocks each and an installed gross output of 4,000 MW. With a gross output of 1,000 MW each, 20 reactor blocks are the most powerful. The Akademik Lomonossow nuclear power plant , the world's first floating nuclear power plant with two KLT-40 reactors each with 35 MW gross output, is currently being built in Saint Petersburg and will replace the Bilibino nuclear power plant .

Nuclear energy has a share of 18 percent of total electricity generation in Russia. Russia ranks fifth worldwide in terms of annual electricity generation from nuclear energy. In the European part of Russia, the share of total electricity generation is 37 percent.

On August 5, 2016, block 1, a VVER-1200 / 392M in Novovoronesch II, was the world's first generation III + (inherently safe, core catcher) reactor with a life expectancy of 60 years. Others followed with Novovoronesch II Block 2 and Block 1 in Leningrad II, where Block 2 is still under construction.

On December 19, 2019, the world's first floating nuclear power plant, Akademik Lomonossow, went into operation in Pewek.

Switzerland

In 2020, 4 reactor units will be operated at 3 locations in Switzerland . The first commercially used reactor block was Beznau 1 and went into operation on September 1, 1969 or December 9, 1969, depending on the definition. The Leibstadt nuclear power plant is the most powerful with one reactor block and an installed gross output of 1,275 MW, with the reactor block also being the most powerful.

The Mühleberg NPP was finally shut down on December 20, 2019 at 12:30.

In 2017, nuclear energy accounted for 30 percent of total electricity generation in Switzerland (19.5 TWh of 66 TWh national production); According to the IAEA, the proportion in December 2019 was 37.73%.
