There is no fixed number, but most nuclear stations have two reactors. These are usually run quite separately, with separate generating equipment, so that whilst one reactor is being refuelled the other can continue to produce power. Some stations have more than two reactors, but usually then they have been built over a long time period and the later ones may be of an improved design.
As of 2021, there are 93 commercial nuclear reactors operating in 28 states in the United States. These nuclear reactors are spread across 56 nuclear power plants.
One reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted down in the 1986 disaster.
There are two nuclear power plants located in Connecticut: Millstone Power Station, which consists of three reactors in Waterford, and the long-shuttered Connecticut Yankee plant in Haddam.
About 450 reactors. You can get a world survey from www.world-nuclear.org

No new nuclear plants have been built in the US in the past 20 years. The Watts Bar plant was licenced in 1996, but had been built much earlier. The last plant actually built was the River Bend plant in Louisiana, which was licenced in 1986.
As of 2010, There are six nuclear power plants, comprising 20 reactors, in India. For further information, please consult the Related Links, below.
