Most countries that have sufficiently advanced science and engineering background do already have some nuclear power plants. Exceptions I can think of are Australia and New Zealand, and there it is because there are other types of fuel available and popular opinion is anti-nuclear, you would have to ask them why that is so. Also in Italy, they did have a few plants but a referendum gave a negative answer and so these plants were shutdown before the end of their life. Italians would have to tell you why they voted that way, and whether this opinion still holds today

What is the main reason for the world wide slowdown in the construction of nuclear power plants?
Answer 1This may be valid in developed countries as in the European Union and the Us as those countries are not in no much need of more energy as well as they they succeeded in increasing the life time of their nuclear power plants from 40 to 60 years. However, in other countries as China, India, South korea, Countries of Eastern Europe, Russia, Middle East countries there are lots on nuclear power plants under construction at a high rate. Answer 2Additionally, many developed countries are afraid of the types of nuclear meltdown that Chernobyl and Fukushima have made famous. Answer 3The Chernobyl nuclear accident consequences were exaggerated in the eyes of developing countries just to distract them from adopting nuclear power programs. Ukraine where Chernobyl accident happened has 15 operating nuclear power plants and two under construction. The Japan earthquake that happened in March 2011 was the strongest in Japan history and was accompanied by more than 14 meter high Tsunami that resulted in 20 thousands victims and the loss of external power as well as the emergency diesel and the emergency batteries. The reactor did not break as well as the concrete containment and there was no above limits radiation exposures to the public. There was no reactor victims except two that died because of the tsunami.

France produces about 80% of its electricity by nuclear plants, but this is an exception in Europe, most countries with nuclear plants have about 20%, as in the USA.
