World Nuclear Industry Status Report: The Global “Nuclear Renaissance” Is in Fact “Single-Engine Driven by China,” with Regions Outside China in “Substantial Stagnation”

2026-10-13T18:32:36Z

Recently, the latest edition of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR), led by independent energy analyst Mycle Schneider, pointed out in its analysis: the so-called global “nuclear renaissance” is in essence a localized expansion driven by a single engine—China; if China's strong engineering momentum is stripped away, nuclear power in the rest of the world is in a state of structural “substantial stagnation and slight contraction.” 7 October 2026 • Organizing Committee of the (…) - WNISR in the Media / China, Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy Deployment, WNISR2026, World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2026, Construction Times, Construction Start, Construction Delays, Construction Costs, Nuclear Power Generation

Plans Advance for Floating Nuclear Plant in New Brunswick, a First Among G7 Countries

2026-10-13T02:04:37Z

Plans for a floating nuclear power plant advanced this week with its backers' selection of a small reactor to power it. The demonstration facility, dubbed a Transportable Nuclear Power Plant, would mark many firsts. Set for near a small port in Belledune, N.B., it would be the first floating nuclear plant in a G7 country, as well as the developer's first commercial deployment. It would also be the first nuclear project majority-owned by First Nations. Belledune is situated in the (…) - WNISR in the Media / Canada, Construction Costs, SMRs, WNISR2026, World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2026

China Ends 2025 with 62.5 GW of Nuclear Capacity, Short of its 70 GW Target

2026-10-12T00:48:40Z

China's gross nuclear capacity reached 62.5 GW at end-2025, over 10% below the 14^th Five-Year Plan goal. Beijing targets 110 GW by 2030, with 37 reactors under construction. 5 October 2026 China's operating nuclear capacity ended 2025 more than 10% below its Five-Year Plan target, according to the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2026 (WNISR). Gross operating capacity stood at 62.5 gigawatts (GW) at the end of 2025, against the “around 70 GW” goal in the 14^th Five-Year Plan.

核能恐成戰場目標？《世界核能產業報告》揭示台灣能源兩難

2026-10-12T00:44:22Z

1 1月28日的九合一大選，除了針對地方公職人員投票之外，另外將再舉行「核能公投」，討論是否廢除「非核家園」政策。最新的《世界核能產業現況報告》提到，台灣有意重啟核電並獲得民意支持，但俄烏戰爭與中東衝突都已揭示核能設施容易成為攻擊標的，這也是台灣能源發展的兩難。李佳穎 • 4 October 2026 國際能源與核能產業分析師、政策顧問施奈德（Mycle Schneider）每年召集專家學者撰寫《世界核能產業現況報告》，最近出版今（2026）年最新報告，台灣篇由中研院社會所副研究員彭保羅（Paul Jobin）台北醫學大學通識教育中心助理教授丁允中共同撰寫。報告中回顧，台灣的核三廠2號機於去（2025）年5月17日正式停機，正式進入非核家園，但總統賴清德於同年頒布立法院三讀通過的《核子反應器設施管制法》，總統府與行政院多次強調將核安無虞、核廢有解與社會共識的狀況下才重啟核電。核三廠的「再運轉計畫」日前獲核安會審查通過。 (…) - WNISR in the Media / WNISR2026, World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2026, KONO Taro, Paul Jobin, Nuclear Power and War, Nuclear Phaseout in Taiwan, Taiwan

Nuclear Power Construction Rises Globally as Africa Adds Four Potential Newcomer Countries

• Global nuclear generation reached a record 2,703 TWh in 2025, but operating capacity fell by 0.5 GW and nuclear's share of electricity generation declined to 8.8%. • China accounted for the entire increase in global nuclear output, while solar and wind capacity expanded by 510 GW and 159 GW respectively. • Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda are identified as African countries pursuing nuclear power plans, although major financing, regulatory and grid challenges remain. by Bryan (…) - WNISR in the Media / Potential Newcomer Countries, SMRs, Russia Nuclear Interdependencies, Construction Start, Construction Delays, Construction Times, World, Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy Deployment, Decommissioning, WNISR2026, World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2026

Cash Only: Jeden reaktor navíc a další na cestě. Českému jádru se daří

2026-10-11T02:05:36Z

Výroba elektřiny z jádra sice loni celosvětově vzrostla, její podíl na celkové produkci však klesl ve prospěch zelených zdrojů. Česko se tomuto trendu vymyká. V dominanci jádra věří i do budoucna. by Sofie Krýžová • 4 October 2026 Česku se v loňském roce v jedné oblasti mimořádně dařilo, a to i v globálním kontextu. Vyrobilo totiž historicky nejvíce elektřiny z jádra, jehož podíl byl zároveň ze všech zdrojů nejvyšší.
