Sources:
Reactor data: WNA to 26/3/07.
IAEA- for nuclear electricity production & percentage of electricity (% e) 5/06.
WNA: Global Nuclear Fuel Market (reference scenario) - for U. Includes first cores for new reactors. Operating = Connected to the grid
Building/Construction = first concrete for reactor poured, or major refurbishment under way
Planned = Approvals and funding in place, or construction well advanced but suspended indefinitely;
Proposed = clear intention but still without funding and/or approvals.
TWh = Terawatt-hours (billion kilowatt-hours), MWe = Megawatt net (electrical as distinct from thermal), kWh = kilowatt-hour

NB: 66,529 tU = 78,458 t U₃O₈

* In Canada, 'construction' figure is 2 laid-up Bruce A reactors.
