“Je connais bien votre rapport qui est une référence, y compris en France.”
François Lévêque
Professeur d’économie, Mines-ParisTech, France
More Quotes…
“The report provides authoritative, important information that cannot and should
not be ignored, regardless of one’s attitudes about the nuclear industry.”
John Mecklin
Editor in chief, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, USA, June 2017
More Quotes…
“... we attach more importance to the WNISR, primarily because we believe that
this report is done without the interference of interest groups.”
Jade Huang
Vice-Secretary General International Forum for Clean Energy (IFCE),
Macao/Beijing, China, September 2018
More Quotes…
“Important and crucial to receive as every year the World Nuclear Industry
Status Report.”
Thomas Johansson
“Co-Chair, Global Energy Assessment, IIASA”, Sweden/Austria
More Quotes…
“The WNISR is especially very useful to teach students the distinction between
opinions and facts, and to train them to the improvement of their arguments.”
Arnaud Delebarre
Professor, Energy Major Coordinator, Shanghai Jiao Tong University ParisTech
Elite Institute of Technology (SPEIT), France/China, May 2017
More Quotes…
“The World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) is an important antidote to
the nuclear-energy industry’s relentless boosterism."
Frank von Hippel
Professor of Public and International Affairs emeritus, Program on Science and
Global Security, International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM) Princeton
University, USA, April 2017
More Quotes…
“Making sense of today’s highly contested debate about nuclear power remains as
problematic as ever. For anyone called upon to help explain to non-specialist
audiences exactly what’s going on, based on impartial data and analysis, the
WNISR is the single most important reference document in this space.”
Jonathon Porritt
Founder Director, Forum for the Future, London, UK
More Quotes…
“As always, WNISR is invaluable."
Peter Bradford
Former Commissioner, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, USA
More Quotes…
“Labeling it a report is somewhat misleading. It’s more like an encyclopedia
filled with facts and insights.”
Dave Lochbaum
Former Director of the Nuclear Safety Project Union of Concerned Scientists
Washington D.C., U.S.
More Quotes…
“Without the WNISR we would lack a sound database on the reality around nuclear
new-build programs internationally.”
Dr. Dörte Fouquet
Lawyer, Partner Becker-Büttner-Held, Germany, April 2018
More Quotes…
“The most comprehensive, detailed, apolitical and honest report on the current
status of the World’s Nuclear Industry.”
Laurent Segalen
Managing Partner at Megawatt-X, HEC School of Management, London, UK
More Quotes…
“This 2017 World Nuclear Industry Status Report is perhaps the most decisive
document in the history of nuclear power. The report makes clear, in telling
detail, that the debate is over.”
S. David Freeman
former Chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), in the Foreword to
WNISR2017, U.S.
More Quotes…
“Der WNISR ist eine hervorragende und wegen seiner Unabhängigkeit unerlässliche
Wissensbasis für Entscheidungsträger aus Politik und Wirtschaft.”
Manfred Fischedick
Vice-President, Wuppertal Institute on Climate, Environment, Energy Professor,
Schumpeter School of Business and Economics Bergische Universität, Wuppertal,
Germany, June 2017
More Quotes…
“Fantastic job! Prepping my nuclear lecture as usual this year and WNISR again
an invaluable source…It is brilliant and a service to humanity.”
Lars J. Nilsson
Professor of Environmental and Energy Systems Studies, Lund University, Sweden,
April 2017
More Quotes…
“Without the objective and informed voice of this unique resource, government
judges and other decision-makers would have little choice but to rely on the
self-interested assertions of the nuclear industry.”
Diane Curran
Attorney, Washington DC, USA, March 2018

 * World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2023
   
   The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2023 (WNISR2023) assesses on 549
   pages the status and trends of the international nuclear industry. It
   provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear power plant data, including
   information on operation, production, fleet age, and construction. The WNISR
   assesses the status of newbuild programs in existing as well as in potential
   newcomer nuclear countries, and looks at the status of Small Modular
   Reactor (SMR) development.
   
   WNISR2023 contains a special focus chapter on Nuclear Power Economics and
   Finance that assesses how persistent competitive pressures force the nuclear
   sector to rely on increasing state support. Further focus chapters include an
   expanded analysis of U.S. nuclear policy, including its multiple new subsidy
   mechanisms, as well as an assessment of the struggling South African nuclear
   program amidst a continued electricity crisis. The report also looks at the
   history of Germany’s phased-out nuclear fleet until its last three reactors
   were closed in April 2023, and scrutinizes the difficulties that neighboring
   France has been facing in a historically catastrophic year of nuclear
   performance. The situation of the Russian nuclear industry, as well as
   complex implications of the international interdependencies with nuclear
   players in other countries, are subject to closer scrutiny. A United Kingdom
   Focus looks at the many challenges of operation, decommissioning, ongoing
   construction, and future prospects.
   
   The Fukushima Status Report provides an overview of ongoing onsite/offsite
   challenges of the 2011-disaster, as well as legal developments regarding
   citizens’ health and compensation claims. The Decommissioning Status Report
   looks at the current situation of the now over 210 closed nuclear power
   reactors, close to one third of all units in the world that have generated
   electricity at some point. The chapter Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy
   Deployment provides an overview of the increasing gap between the development
   patterns of the two electricity generating technologies. Annex 1 offers an
   overview by region and country of all operating nuclear programs not covered
   in the focus chapters.

   Agency (IAEA) unexpectedly withdrew 17 nuclear power reactors from its
   statistics of operating reactors, created a new status category called
   “Suspended Operation”, and retroactively modified its data series
   accordingly. As of 1 January 2023, WNISR considers 411 reactors in operation
   whereas the IAEA-PRIS website counts 422, a difference of 11 units, the
   smallest difference between the two data-series in a decade. According to the
