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 newbuild programs in existing as well as in potential newcomer nuclear countries. The report also compares the development of nuclear power and renewable energy globally. WNISR2024 includes special focus chapters on Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy Deployment and Power Firming and Competitive Pressure on Nuclear Energy, that assess how solar/wind + storage put increasing competitive pressures on the nuclear sector. Further focus chapters include an overview of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) developments; an analysis of the Russia Dependencies of the global nuclear sector with a case study on Russian designed fuel assembly manufacturing; an analysis of the Militarization of Civil Power Plants based on the case study of tritium production for weapons in the United States and its significance for France; and an assessment of Civil-Military Cross-Financing in the U.K. Nuclear Sector discussing how tax- and rate-payers unknowingly subsidize the civil and military nuclear establishments. The Fukushima Status Report provides an overview of ongoing onsite/offsite challenges of the 2011-disaster. The Decommissioning Status Report looks at the current situation of the now over 200 closed nuclear power reactors.
