According to the “World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2024,” the world had 408 operational reactors producing 367-GW in the middle of the year, which is significantly less than installed capacity predictions for solar by the end of the year and five time less the world’s cumulative PV capacity. There were around 1.6-TW of PV at the end of 2023 and possibly around 1.9-TW by the end of June, given recent projections from BloombergNEF and Bernreuter Researchers, which foresee 5920GW and 660-GW, respectively, this year.
