      These are statistics concerning the civil use of nuclear energy. The variables are: enrichment capacity,production capacity of fresh fuel elements,production capacity of MOX fuel fabrication plants,production of fresh fuel elements,production of MOX fuel elements,production of nuclear heat,annual average burnup of definitively discharged irradiated fuel elements,production of Uranium and Plutonium in reprocessing plants andproduction capacity of Uranium and Plutonium of reprocessing plants. Data collection covers in principle Member States of the European Union, Iceland and Norway. However, only 14 EU Member States (Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, France, Hungary, The Netherlands, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden and UK) operate nuclear reactors. EU-28 aggregate is shown for all variables (except for annual average burnup or those with confidential data)
