Thirty one countries including India produce nuclear power, France tops at 73%

At least 31 countries in the world generate nuclear power. France has the highest share of nuclear power—more than 73% of the total electricity generated came from nuclear plants. A comparison with previous years shows that there is a significant decline in the share of nuclear power in Japan and Germany. This is a result of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in 2011 damaging the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant. This disaster sparked a worldwide debate about the safety of nuclear power plants.
