Background: The annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear power plant data, including information on operation, production, construction, and decommissioning. The WNISR assesses the status of new-build programs in existing as well as in potential newcomer nuclear countries. The report also compares the development of nuclear power and renewable energy globally. WNISR2022 contains a special focus chapter on Nuclear Power and War that assesses the safety and security challenges of nuclear power plants in war situations. The report also identifies Russia as the current leading technology supplier of nuclear newbuild around the world. The Decommissioning Status Report looks at the current situation of the now over 200 closed nuclear power reactors. The France Focus chapter analyses the recent drastic decline in performance of the national nuclear fleet.

Note: The presentation will provide first end-of-year 2022 statistics not included yet in WNISR2022.
