Nuclear News updates the World List of Nuclear Power Plants and its accompanying tables and maps every year to include new or revised information. When we do not obtain information directly from a plant's owner or operator, we collect information made available by them in other ways (such as from the International Atomic Energy Agency's Power Reactor Information System pris.iaea.org/pris/, from press releases, or from submittals to government agencies, international organizations, and contractors). For an operating reactor to be listed, it must be equipped to provide excess net energy for use outside the reactor itself-usually for the production of electricity, but potentially also for purposes such as district heating, process heat, and desalination. Research reactors, test reactors, and facilities with limited roles (such as isotope production) are not included.
