    Global Nuclear Pipeline Shows 57 of 77 Reactors in Asia with Only 3 in Americas

    Question

    Global Nuclear Pipeline Shows 57 of 77 Reactors in Asia with Only 3 in Americas

    Direct answer

    Global power demand forecasts pointing to a 60% expansion by 2045 highlight an acute regional disparity in baseload nuclear infrastructure additions. Of the 77 commercial nuclear reactors currently under construction worldwide, 57 are concentrated across Asian markets, compared to just 3 in the Americas. The heavy regional skew underscores structural hurdles for Western hyperscalers and utilities attempting to secure direct nuclear baseload power, maintaining tightness in nuclear fuel contracting markets.
