The US could quadruple its nuclear generating capacity by 2050. The US aims to add 300 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2050 and develop a nuclear fuel recycling strategy that could slash radioactive waste storage from thousands of years to just hundreds. The country currently operates 94 light-water reactors, which supply roughly 20 percent of its electricity and around 100 gigawatts (GW) of generating capacity. Meeting its 2050 target would significantly expand the nation’s existing nuclear fleet.
