Problems with "List of Nuclear Reactors by Country"

There are a few problems with the section "List of Nuclear Reactors by Country," not the least of which is the name; it's a list of countries by number of reactors. Also, it seems like the IAEA source ([[1]]) for most of the data in the table excludes a lot of the countries on the list despite the notice in the preceding paragraph describing purpose of the table. Perhaps this section should be split into two sections: "List of Countries by Number of Nuclear Reactors" and "List of Countries by Number of Planned Reactors" or something like that.

I'll start making these changes at some point in the next several weeks if nobody objects.

Fully agree. This has been discussed several times but somehow no clear progress. In addition, there is some overlapping with Nuclear energy policy by country, so I think when that maybe information about planned reactors should go there. Beagel (talk) 08:34, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

I agree that planned reactors belong in Nuclear energy policy by country; maybe that table could use some help as well. I think a good course of action would be to move the information into that article and just have a sentence with a link explaining where to find it. I'll make a note on that article's talk page and see if anyone has any good ideas on how to structure the new information. CaptainTickles (talk) 18:24, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

I have moved the "planned reactors" information to Nuclear energy policy by country and also removed from the table any rows where there were no operating reactors, no reactors under construction, no citations, and no entry in the IAEA source.

CaptainTickles (talk) 00:55, 30 April 2013 (UTC) In the list of countries, Japan seems to have an error. They are listed as having 1.7% of their electricity by nuclear power, but the amount of energy they produce is inconsistent with 1.7%. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.28.150.76 (talk) 19:10, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

There's no error. There's a big difference between capacity and actual generation. Most of Japan's reactors are idle. NPguy (talk) 02:56, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Update map

Currently one of the maps shows Netherlands as red, indicating "phase out under discussion". This should be changed to "stable", given the cancellation of plans to close Borssele. Ordinary Person (talk) 06:09, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Wrong info about japan

In the list of "nuclear reactors by country" it says about japan "After Fukushima, Japan shut down all of its 54 nuclear reactors, but has since restarted 48 reactors". That's absolutely false. Only two reactors at the OI where restarted at july 2013 and shutdown again at september 2013. No other reactors have been restarted in Japan since Fukushima disaster till february 2015. All 48 reactors are idle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rober2D2 (talk • contribs) 16:14, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

image layout messed up

It was messed up before I fixed it, but it's still messed up. I updated the table and it looks ok with a narrow browser window but with a wide browser window the images try to move to the right of the table, but they overlap it incorrectly. Maybe someone can fix it. GangofOne (talk) 08:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Nevermind, I already fixed it. GangofOne (talk) 00:45, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

China and Taiwan

This article now refers to "China Mainland" and the "Republic of China." Isn't the standard usage (reflecting how they are generally recognized) to say simply "China" and "Taiwan." NPguy (talk) 03:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
