2023: Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period up to 2050 (RDS-1)
|
Reference Data Series 1; 2023 Edition
The 43rd edition of Reference Data Series No. 1 contains estimates of energy, electricity, and nuclear power trends up to the year 2050. The publication considers the prospects of new capacity additions, retirements and long term operation of existing units. The 2022 capacity and production data is taken from Nuclear Power Reactors in the World, Reference Data Series No. 2, IAEA, Vienna (2023).RDS-1 is organized into world and regional subsections, with global and regional nuclear power projections presented as low and high cases, encompassing the uncertainties inherent in projecting trends. The low case assumes a continuation of current market and technology trends leading to a modest increase in in global nuclear capacity to 458 GWe by 2050. The high case assumes a more favourable context and leads to a more than doubling of global nuclear power capacity to 890 GWe by 2050. Despite the increasing recognition of nuclear power’s role in climate change mitigation and energy security improvement, the current pace of nuclear power development shows that urgent actions would be needed to maintain the existing role of nuclear power in the energy mix, involving a broad range of actors including policy makers, the nuclear industry, the financing community, and international organizations, along with active engagement with the public.

Nuclear Power Proves its Vital Role as an Adaptable, Reliable Supplier of Electricity during COVID-19
Nuclear power operators around the world sustained reliable nuclear power plant (NPP) operation during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to 2020 nuclear power operating data. The IAEA today released its annual nuclear power status data for 2020, collected by the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS), the IAEA’s publicly available and comprehensive database on nuclear power. The utilization of available nuclear power capacity provided reliable, low-emission electricity throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) and its Extension to Non-electrical Applications, Decommissioning and Delayed Projects Information, IAEA Technical Report Series No. 428, 2005.
The IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) contains detailed information on the nuclear power plants worldwide. It covers a broad range of information, including reactor design characteristics, plant general specifications, operating experience data and non-electrical applications of nuclear power plants such as steam production and desalination. This report describes all the elements of PRIS and explains the rules, coding, terminology and definitions used in the system.

IAEA TECDOC 1393: International Outage Coding System in PRIS
|
The experience obtained in each individual plant constitutes the most relevant source of information for improving its performance. However, knowledge of performance levels in other plants throughout the utility country and worldwide is also extremely valuable, as there are limitations to what can be learned from in-house experience.
Learning from the experience of others is difficult if the information is not harmonized. Therefore, such systems should be standardized and applicable to all types of reactors, satisfying the needs of the broad set of nuclear power plant operators worldwide and allowing experience to be shared internationally. To cope with the considerable amount of information gathered from nuclear power plants worldwide, it is necessary to codify the information facilitating the identification of causes of outages, systems or component failures. Therefore, the IAEA established the International Outage Coding System, providing worldwide nuclear utilities with a standardized tool for reporting outage information.

IAEA TECDOC 1544 : Nuclear Power Plant Design Characteristics in PRIS
|
|
The Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) is a comprehensive data source on nuclear power plants (NPPs) in the world. It includes specification and performance history data of operating reactors as well as of reactors under construction or being decommissioned. The NPP design characteristics represent a fundamental part of the PRIS database. They provide important information on the main systems and components and can provide a comprehensive picture of unit design, technology and system configuration. The characteristics can also be used as basic criteria to group reactors with similar or identical design features for operational performance analysis. The aim of this publication is to provide guidelines for PRIS data providers and to detail information about PRIS design characteristics for those using PRIS data for performance analysis, benchmarking or just as a reliable source of technical information related to NPPs.
