From the publication:
Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period up to 2050 IAEA, August 2018 Introduction Reference Data Series No. 1 (RDS-1) is an annual publication — currently in its thirty-eighth edition — containing estimates of energy, electricity and nuclear power trends up to the year 2050. RDS-1 starts with a summary of the status of nuclear power in IAEA Member States as of the end of 2017 based on statistical data collected by the IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS). It then presents estimates of energy and electricity up to 2050 derived from various international studies, including the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2017 and the United States Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Outlook 2017. The energy and electricity data for 2017 are estimated, as the latest information available from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs is for 2015. Population data originate from World Population Prospects (2015 revision), published by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. The 2017 values again are estimates. As in previous editions of RDS-1, projections of nuclear power are presented as low and high estimates encompassing the uncertainties inherent in projecting trends. The projections are based on a critical review of (i) the global and regional energy, electricity and nuclear power projections made by other international organizations, (ii) national projections supplied by individual countries for a recent OECD Nuclear Energy Agency study and (iii) the estimates of the expert group participating in the IAEA’s yearly consultancy on nuclear capacity projections.
