This is an nteresting data. 125 out of 422 nuclear power reactors worldwide, or 99,447 MW out of 377,891 MW capacity, are more than 40 years old, and still operating as of March 2023.

Sustained growth via stable and ample electricity

"The Philippines’ Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) has 620 MW in installed capacity. If the average capacity factor is 85%, then its dependable capacity is 527 MW. So, in one day, or 24 hours, it can generate 12,648 megawatt-hours (MWH) of electricity; in one year, or 365 days, it can generate 4.62 million MWH or 4.62 TWH.

If the BNPP was allowed to operate in 1985 or 1986, then it could have contributed or added 20% of total generation in 1985, and 4.2% in 2021 (See Table 2)."
