History

Important points for development

On June 26, 1954 the nuclear power plant in Obninsk was in the former Soviet Union, the world's first nuclear power plant, which supplied electrical energy into the public grid.

On August 27 In 1956, as the first commercial nuclear power plant in the world Calder Hall in the UK with a capacity of 50 MW to the grid.

1973 went in the Kazakh Aktau (formerly Shevchenko, USSR) the world's first fast breeder reactor (BN -350 ) in operation, which has not been used for research purposes, but for energy; he served, among others, for the desalination of sea water.

After the nuclear power plant Oldbury in Great Britain, which was put into operation on 7 November 1967 and was removed from the network end of February 2012, the Beznau (Canton Aargau, Switzerland ) is true that with the put into operation on September 1, 1969 reactor Beznau IALS oldest still operating nuclear power plant in the world.

The Kashiwazaki - Kariwa nuclear power plant in Japan, with its seven reactor units and a total installed capacity of 8,212 MW currently the most powerful nuclear power generation plant in the world.

The two blocks of the nuclear power plant Civaux in France are currently with a gross capacity of 1,561 MW each, the most powerful nuclear units worldwide.

Growth of production capacity

After the first civilian nuclear power plants were already gone into operation in the 1950s and in the 1960s more power plant units were built, the civilian use of nuclear energy in particular took between 1970 and 1990 a rapid upswing. Fraud, the global power generation capacity from nuclear energy in 1970 around 16 GW, so this rose. Within the next two decades to 1990 to 328 GW Thereafter, the development was significantly slower. In 2005, the installed capacity of 369 GW, 2011, there were 366 GW. Currently, there are officially 65 nuclear power plants under construction, with many of these reactors, however, the completion is questionable. So there are 11 of these 65 reactors already under construction since the 1980s. 29 plants were started in China, after the nuclear disaster of Fukushima these plans were initially deferred and suspended the permits for a review of the nuclear program.
