Nuclear power generation data measured in kilowatt-hours is compiled by the World Bank's World Development Indicators Database Archives. This dataset tracks electricity produced by nuclear power plants across countries. The specific temporal coverage and update frequency are not provided.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in the 'electricity production from nuclear sources' metric over time for different countries.
- Compare the share of nuclear power in national energy mixes by calculating its proportion relative to total electricity generation.
- Model the correlation between nuclear electricity production data and other development indicators like GDP or carbon emissions.
- Forecast future nuclear energy output using historical time-series data on kilowatt-hours produced.
Strengths
- Data originates from the authoritative World Development Indicators (WDI) Database Archives.
- Provides a standardized metric (kWh) for cross-country comparison of nuclear electricity output.
Limitations
- The number of countries, rows, and specific time range covered are unknown.
- Data may be aggregated at the national level, lacking sub-national or plant-level detail.
- The recency and update frequency of the data are not specified, risking staleness.
