Not one of the nuclear power stations currently planned or under construction are in the Western world (unless you count Slovakia). Not even the traditionally very nuclear-friendly France. Is this just a coincidence or is it the handiwork of some hyper-sensitive faction of the environmental lobby with bottomless coffers to buy political clout across whole continents? This table lists stations under construction or operational stations with under-construction reactors and current net capacity under 1,000 MW. Planned connection column indicate connection of first reactor, not thus whole capacity.
