Kenya has launched a strategic plan and roadmap for nuclear power development. Alex Wachira, Principal Secretary at the Ministry of Energy & Petroleum, told journalists that the plan provides guidelines for developing the infrastructure to safely construct, operate, maintain and decommission nuclear facilities. "The strategic plan proposes practical interventions to ensure Kenya commences construction of its first nuclear power plant in 2027 and commissions it in 2034," he said.

The EIA said only one reactor was retired in 2021 – New York’s Indian Point-3 – but three more plants are scheduled to retire in the coming years
Despite a slight increase in the capacity factor of the US nuclear fleet in 2021, US nuclear electricity generation fell to its lowest level since 2012.
Output from US nuclear power plants totalled 778 million MWh in 2021, or 1.5% less than the previous year. Nuclear’s share of US electricity generation across all sectors in 2021 was similar to its average share in the previous decade at about 19%.
