This represents an overwhelming anticipated increase of 537 (almost 122 percent increase) nuclear power reactors. The number of operating power reactors reported on this graph, d oes not include over 240 research nuclear reactors, which are located in 56 countries around the  world. In spite of the concerns associated with the word, “nuclear” which appears to signify a possible release of radioactivity in routine or accidental situations, nuclear energy is indeed a well-established component of electricity supply in many of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries for the following reason:  The recognized potential role of nuclear energy in long-term strategies designed to alleviate the risk of global climate change and more generally in sustainable development policies, is attracting renewed interest from policy makers and the public around the world. This could be the result of the excellent efforts that are being made by interested parties to understand risk perception, and communicate with civil society on the issues at stake
