제목 글로벌) 세계 원자력산업 현황 보고서 2026
국가 [글로벌]  출처 WNISR
산업구분 [원자력발전]  등록일 2026.10.07
본 보고서는 2025년 세계 태양광 발전량이 처음으로 원자력 발전량을 연간 기준으로 추월하고 2025년 3월 이후 매달 풍력 또는 태양광 단독 발전량이 원자력을 앞선 가운데, 태양광 설비가 510GW 늘어 2,383GW, 풍력이 159GW 늘어 1,291GW에 달한 반면 원자력 설비는 1.5GW 증가한 399.5GW(가동 368.6GW)로 25년 이상 정체돼 있고 긴 건설기간과 SMR 실적 부재로 원자력 산업의 성장이 더디다고 분석한 보고서이다.
