abstract:This List of nuclear reactors is an annotated list of all the nuclear reactors in the world, sorted by country, with operational status. The list includes military, commercial and research reactors, excludes nuclear marine propulsion reactors, except those at land installations, and excludes uncompleted nuclear reactors.
Because nuclear energy (stored among particles inside atoms) is millions of times more dense than chemical energy (stored among atoms in molecules), nuclearreactors belong high on our long listof energy alternatives.
