Energy Mix
The global trend in nuclear energy generation masks the large differences in its role at the country level. Some countries get no energy from nuclear — or aim to eliminate it completely — while others get most of their power from it. This

Nuclear Energy
Nuclear power generation has existed since the 1960s but saw massive growth globally in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The interactive chart shows how global nuclear generation has changed over the past half-century. The figures we
6 FAQs about [Ranking of thermal wind and nuclear power generation]
What percentage of energy comes from nuclear power?
In 2019, just over 4% of global primary energy came from nuclear power. Note that this is based on nuclear energy's share in the energy mix. Energy consumption represents the sum of electricity, transport, and heating. We look at the electricity mix below. What share of electricity comes from nuclear?
Which countries produce the most nuclear energy?
This interactive chart shows the amount of nuclear energy generated by country. France, the USA, China, Russia, and South Korea all produce relatively large amounts of nuclear power. What share of primary energy comes from nuclear? We previously considered nuclear output in terms of energy units — how much each country produces in terawatt-hours.
Is nuclear energy better than fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy and renewable technologies typically emit very little CO2 per unit of energy production and are also much better than fossil fuels at limiting local air pollution. However, while some countries invest heavily in increasing their nuclear energy supply, others are shutting down their plants.
What are the top two energy sources in the world?
In the chart, we see the share of global energy that comes from fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear. The sum of the top two is what we want to increase. Part of this slow progress is due to the fact that much of the gains made in renewables have been offset by a decline in nuclear energy.
Is nuclear energy dangerous?
No energy source comes with zero negative impact. We often consider nuclear energy more dangerous than other sources because these low-frequency but highly visible events come to mind. However, when we compare the death rates from nuclear energy to other sources, we see that it’s one of the safest.
What is the breakdown of the energy mix by country?
These charts show the breakdown of the energy mix by country. First is the higher-level breakdown by fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables. Then the specific breakdown by source, including coal, gas, oil, nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, and other renewables (which include bioenergy, wave, and tidal). This is given in terms of per capita consumption.
