Where are the nuclear power plants on earth and where will new ones be built?

Question

Please list all the locations. If someone could provide a map of earth with the locations of plants and possible locations would be greatly appreciated. Any sources or websites where you got the information too please. Thank you.

I'm looking for a more global answer as information about USA's nuclear power plants is widely available and I am more intresented in international destinations of nuclear power.

Answer 2

A number of plants have been built and a good number are in the construction / planning stage. I think you already got a good direction from the first two answers. India and China are building a number of plants to take care of the energy needs of the developing economies, growing populations and thus the ever increasing energy needs. Other nations are also taking a fresh look at nuclear power in light of the global warming worries of the fossil fuel plants and the reduced scope for hydro-electric plants.

Answer 3

here's a good site for some info, the nuclear energy institute...
