Suddenly the world shifts back to nuclear power

With an energy crisis hitting the Northern Hemisphere and China streaking ahead, an atomic renaissance is brewing.

There are 443 Nuclear Power plants in the world. Another 54 plants are under construction, and more than a third of those are in China. Right now China has about half the capacity of the USA, but within five or ten years China will be the largest nuclear power in the world.
