The annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) is an indispensable source of reliable, fact-based information and provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear power plant data, including information on age, operation, production, and construction of reactors. In addition, the WNISR2025 assesses in an in-depth focus chapter the Challenges of Integrating Nuclear Power into the Energy System, a compatibility analysis of nuclear energy with modern renewables-based electricity systems, complemented by a comparative analysis of Nuclear Power vs. Renewable Energy Deployment. Solar plus storage increasingly emerges as a major game changer. A chapter on Russian Nuclear Interdependencies looks not only into supplies from Russia but also into western industries’ dependence on Russia as a client for their products. The state of development—less advanced than generally thought—of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) is subject to a dedicated chapter. Most of the potential nuclear newcomer countries assessed—including Italy—are in very early stages of planning. The Fukushima Status Report evaluates persistent onsite and offsite challenges 14 years after the disaster began. The Decommissioning Status Report provides an overview of the current situation of the 218 closed reactors in the world (only nine have been released as greenfield sites). Overall, the industrial reality of the global nuclear sector that sees most of the indicators in decline is very different from public perception.
