Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
The world's power needs could be met with 7500 well placed reactors.
Approx. 15 %.
There are currently 435 nuclear power plants operating allover the world, per the statistics of the International Atomic Energy Agency as of 1 st of April 2004.
The reason is that there are many people around the world who are uneducated in the nuclear power field and therefore still assume the stereotypical nuclear meltdown or mutations will occur and as such, oppose their construction vehemently. Also, it is quite expensive to develop and build such plants.
