Abstract

Sunshine and Nuclear Power The use of nuclear power for electricity production continues to expand around the world. According to World Nuclear Association databases, 64 new nuclear reactors are under active construction today. These reactors, once operational, are expected to add over 61 gigawatts to the global electrical supply – and others are in earlier phases of planning and licensing.
