文章较长我就不全部翻译了,只翻译该文的第一段: Nuclear power in the United States is provided by 100 commercial reactors with a net summer capacity of 100,350 megawatts (MW), consisting of 66 pressurized water reactors (WATTS BAR-2 connected 6/3/2016) and 34 boiling water reactors, producing a total of 797 terawatt-hoursof electricity, which accounted for 19.50% of the nation's total electric energy generation in 2015. As of 2015, there are five new reactors under construction with a gross electrical capacity of 6,218 MW, while 33 reactors have been permanently shut down.[1][2] The United States is the world's largest supplier of commercial nuclear power, and in 2013 generated 33% of the world's nuclear electricity.[3]
Most reactors began construction by 1974; following the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 and changing economics, many planned projects were canceled.
