Just two new reactors went into service this year through November and seven shut down, BloombergNEF said in a report published Monday. About 12 gigawatts of fission power will be added in 2026, including at the Palisades plant in Michigan that is being revived. However, it will likely be several years before any new traditional nuclear projects are completed.
