What's inside

  • Key findings — The buildout's shape in five numbers
  • Where the buildout is — Units and net capacity by country, ranked
  • What is being built — Designs and supply-chain concentration
  • The slippage ledger — Original vs current COD, unit by unit
  • The milestone log — Criticalities, fuel loads and grid connections, sourced

Sample of the data

This is the same unit-level dataset that powers the live tracker — one record per reactor unit, append-only milestone log, per-unit verification stamps. The current top buildout countries:

CountryUnitsNet capacity
China3740.1 GW
Russia75.0 GW
India64.8 GW
Türkiye44.5 GW
United States40.5 GW
Egypt44.4 GW

Across the 23 units with dated targets, average schedule slippage is 3.3 years — the ledger is in the report.
