5 largest nuclear reactors being built

#5: Watts Bar No. 2 (1,218 MWe)

Tennessee, USA. A 70's era PWR, whose construction was abandoned in 1985, and resumed in 2007. Article.

#4: Shimane No. 3 (1,373 MWe)

Matsue, Shimane prefecture, Japan. A new boiling-water reactor. There's lots of information on the official site, if you can read Japanese.


Twin APR-1400s on the sea (Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power)

#3: Shin-Kori No. 3 (1,400 MWe)

South Korea. An APR-1400, a third-generation PWR of Korean design. Also known as the Korean Next-Generation Reactor (see Nuclear Power in South Korea). The country's long term plan is 10 new reactors by 2030, reaching ~40% of domestic electric supply. Not very ambitious. :(

#2: Flamanville No. 3 (1,650 MWe)

Flamanville, France (Normandy) and

#1: Olkiluoto No. 3 (1,720 MWe)

Finland - both EPRs, a French PWR design. These are the first two.

Statistics are from the IAEA database.

I'll fix the CSS later - I've just started with Blogger, I have yet to read the manual. :)
