America's unbuilt reactors

Rule Changes

Advocate for federal financial backstops

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 operatingโ€”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.
