Unit 3 and 4 came online in 2023 and 2024 , respectively, and are the first new reactors built from start to finish and connected to the grid in over three decades .
US electricity needs are expected to grow 2.4% annually between 2022 and 2030 .
But bringing a nuclear power plant to life is difficult and costly work.
In 2023 alone, about 4.18 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity was generated in the US . That's 2.2% higher than 2022 . Power demand from data centers alone is expected to grow 160% by 2031 .
China currently has the lion's share with 30 nuclear reactors under construction, followed by India , Russia and Turkey .
In 2023 , Nu Scale Power canceled its Idaho project, a first of a kind small modular nuclear reactor power plant, after costs increased more than 50% .
Despite those setbacks, many see nuclear energy as an essential component needed for the world to transition away from fossil fuels and reach net 0 carbon emissions.
