This section provides information on nuclear plant operating costs, the amount of air emissions that nuclear plants prevent, which plants have renewed their licenses, plant ownership and more.

	Costs: Fuel, Operation and Waste Disposal
	The costs of generating electricity with nuclear energy include fuel, operations and management, as well as used fuel management and decommissioning. Since 2001, nuclear power plants have achieved lower production costs than coal, natural gas or oil.

	Environment: Emissions Prevented
	Statistical figures on the U.S. and world of the emissions prevented by nuclear power plants.

	License Renewal
	Nuclear plant breakdown on the status of the U.S. nuclear industry's license renewal process.

	Nuclear Waste: Amounts and On-Site Storage
	High- and low level-waste statistics, as well as on-site storage at plant sites for the U.S. nuclear industry.

	Reactors Shut Down or Decommissioned
	Information on reactors that have been shut down permanently or decommissioned—fuel removed and the plant partially or wholly dismantled.

	U.S. Nuclear Power Plants
	Highlighted information of U.S nuclear power plants such as longest operating durations, largest reactors, state nuclear generation and plant performance.

	U.S. Reactor Ownership and Management
	Nuclear plant and management information including plant sales, mergers and acquisitions, and consolidations.

	World Statistics
	General nuclear statistics in the world including the number of plants, total capacity and generation, country by country fuel shares, and reactors under construction.
