Europe's Nuclear Landscape: 12 Countries Operate Power Plants
EU's Role in Nuclear Energy
Out of the 27 European Union (EU) member states, 12 engage in nuclear power generation. With approximately 100 reactors, Europe accounts for nearly a quarter of the world's nuclear facilities.
Mapping Nuclear Risk
A map provided by WEB Atomkraft in Europa illustrates the distribution of nuclear power plants throughout the continent. It classifies reactors based on their perceived risk levels:
- Orange: High-risk reactors without containment structures
- Yellow: High-risk reactors over 30 years old
- Brown: High-risk reactors
The map also includes information on decommissioned plants, operational facilities, and those under construction.
Conclusion
Europe's substantial reliance on nuclear energy necessitates constant vigilance and a commitment to safety. The map provided by WEB Atomkraft in Europa serves as a valuable tool for monitoring the continent's nuclear infrastructure and ensuring the well-being of citizens in the vicinity of these facilities.
