List of nuclear reactors with the highest annual production

The list of nuclear reactors with the highest annual production contains the nuclear reactors with the five highest values ​​of gross annual generation of electrical energy in terawatt hours since 1980.

Since 1980, German nuclear power plants have recorded their annual peak production 28 times, the Grohnde reactor eight times and Isar 2 ten times. Reactors from the United States achieved the highest value four times, the French reactor Chooz B1 twice with the highest annual production up to and including 2012 of 12.97 TWh.
