While demand for electricity is increasing all over the world, not many countries are able to generate enough electricity. Most of the countries are producing electricity by themselves using different sources and methods. Nuclear reactors are one of the electric power producing sources.

Nuclear power generation began more than 50 years ago and now generates as much global electricity as was produced then by all sources. Some two-thirds of world population lives in nations where nuclear power plants are an integral part of electricity production and industrial infrastructures.

Half the world's people live in countries where new nuclear power reactors are in planning or under construction. Thus, a rapid expansion of global nuclear power would require no fundamental change -- simply an acceleration of existing strategies.

Today nearly 440 nuclear reactors produce electricity around the world. More than 15 countries rely on nuclear power for 25 per cent or more of their electricity. In Europe and Japan, the nuclear share of electricity is over 30 per cent. In the US, nuclear power creates 20 per cent of electricity.

This article is an attempt to disclose the world's major producers of electricity and also to analyze the status of India in electric power production.

The below table shows the statistics of top ten produces and the availability of power for Individual consumption

MWh - Megawatts

As an number one democratic country, ranks second in world population finds the fifth place in top ten electricity power producers while with no competition India take the honour of last position in the rank for the availability of electricity per individual.
