Frequently asked questions
What are the largest largest nuclear power plants?
This PowerAtlas slice contains 204 plants with 428,050 MW of combined capacity. 0 plants have asset-level CO2 values: 0 measured and 0 modelled. The largest visible unit in this slice is Hongyanhe at 6,714 MW.
Which fuels and owners dominate this slice?
Fuel mix by plant count: Nuclear 193, nuclear 11. Leading owner/operator labels: Électricité de France (EDF) (19), Exelon Nuclear (12), JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom" (8), Korea Hydro and Nuclear (6).
How is this answer sourced?
Plant identity and capacity come from WRI GPPD / Global Energy Monitor; CO2 provenance is labelled as regulator-measured, modelled or unavailable on each plant page.
Methodology
This answer page is generated only when the slice has enough underlying plant records and passes the hub demand/data gate. It is not a separate source of truth; each table row links back to the underlying plant record and provenance labels.
