The United States has cancelled more nuclear reactors than any other country has ever built. Of 253 reactors ordered between 1953 and 2008, only 27% are still operating—48% were cancelled outright, 11% shut down early. The last reactor ordered before a 34-year gap was in 1978, one year before Three Mile Island.
