RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR RECORD
ROSATOM - In 2017 Russia NPPs' (part of the Power Division of ROSATOM) set another record in electricity generation.
Russian NPPs exceeded the record of 2016 in the volume of generated electricity by increasing cumulative production by more than 6.5 billion kWh, up to 202.868 billion kWh (against 196.366 billion kWh in 2016).
The FAS balance of 2017 was exceeded by 3 billion kWh (at the target indicator of 199.84 billion kWh).
Kalinin, Balakovo (about 32 billion kWh each) and Leningrad (26.7 billion kWh) nuclear power plants were the largest producers among Russian NPPs.
Thus, Russian NPPs set the absolute record over the entire history of the Russian nuclear power getting closer to the absolute production record reached only during the Soviet Union times in 1989 (212.58 billion kWh, considering plants in Ukraine, Lithuania and Armenia).

NUCLEAR - 2050: 25%WNN - According to the Foratom statement, World Nuclear Association Director General Agneta Rising said: "By 2050, nuclear energy must account for 25% of energy generation if we are to meet our climate targets. With nuclear making up 11% of generation in 2014, an extra 1000 GWe in nuclear capacity will need to be built by 2050. However, meeting this goal will not be easy."

EIA: NUCLEAR ENERGY WILL UPEIA projects that global nuclear capacity will grow at an average annual rate of 1.6% from 2016 through 2040, led predominantly by countries outside of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). EIA expects China to continue leading world nuclear growth, followed by India. This growth is expected to offset declines in nuclear capacity in the United States, Japan, and countries in Europe. |
