The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2024 (WNISR2024) assesses on 513 pages the status and trends of the international nuclear industry. It provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear power plant data, including information on operation, production, fleet age, and construction. The WNISR discusses the status of newbuild programs in existing as well as in potential newcomer nuclear countries; notably in the Türkiye Focus which provides critical context to the ongoing construction of the country’s first nuclear power plant. A section is dedicated to ambitions and prospects for nuclear deployment in Potential Newcomer Countries in Africa, while Taiwan Focus covers the current situation and implementation of the nuclear phaseout policy. 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 Nuclear 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.
