Executive Summary and Conclusions
The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2014 provides a comprehensive
 overview of nuclear power plant data, including information on operation, 
 production and construction. The WNISR assesses the status of new-build 
 programs in current nuclear countries as well as in potential newcomer 
 countries. A 20-page chapter on nuclear economics looks at the rapidly 
 changing market conditions for nuclear power plants, whether operating, 
 under construction, or in the planning stage.
Reactor vendor strategies and the “Hinkley Point C Deal” are analyzed in 
particular. The performance on financial markets of major utilities is 
documented.
The WNISR2013 featured for the first time a Fukushima Status Report that 
triggered widespread media and analyst attention. The 2014 edition entirely 
updates that Fukushima chapter.
The Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy chapter that provides comparative 
data on investment, capacity, and generation has been greatly extended by 
a section on system issues. How does nuclear power perform in systems with 
high renewable energy share? Is this the end of traditional baseload/
peak-load concepts?
Finally, the 45-page Annex 1 provides a country-by-country overview of all 
31 countries operating nuclear power plants, with extended Focus sections 
on China, Japan, and the United States.
