Abstract: The article analyzes the global nuclear industry's status in 2024. Total operating capacity is 367.3 GW from 416 reactors. Key challenges include high capital costs ($8-10B/reactor) and long construction times (6 years). China stands out for cost control ($4000/kW). Small Modular Reactors face setbacks in the West but progress in China. The nuclear industry faces strong competition from increasingly cost-competitive renewables.
