Global nuclear generation was down slightly in 2022, but for reasons specific to a few countries: lower output in France due to technical difficulties resolved in 2023, uncertainties over output from Ukrainian power plants due to the war, continued nuclear shutdown in Germany... But the nuclear industry continues to expand worldwide, particularly in the United States, China and India.
