Below is the current total number of operational nuclear power plants, listed by the amount of years which they are in service. The figures quoted are the latest available statistics from the global nuclear body, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Many nations have cited financial reasons for not building new reactors, and are instead squeezing more years of service out of older reactors than they had previously planned, which anti-nuclear activists say, may lead to environmental disasters.
