Data Source
The dataset used for this visualizaiton contains yearly electricity generation, capacity, emissions, import and demand data for over 200 geographies. Data is collected from multi-country datasets (EIA, Eurostat, BP, UN, WhiteHouse) as well as national sources (e.g China data from the National Bureau of Statistics). This yearly electricity data is kept up to date throughout the year and is regularly amended with the latest available data. The data is updated twice a month with an update in the first week of the month followed by a second update in the third week of the month.

Insights
This bar chart animation illustrates the progression of electricity generation from nuclear reactors (measured in TWh) across various countries from 2000 to 2023. It highlights the dynamic shifts in rankings, the leading contributors, and the evolving role of nuclear power in global energy production. The visualization aims to showcase trends, regional disparities, and the growing or declining reliance on nuclear energy over time, providing a clear and engaging perspective on the global energy landscape.
Conclusion
The best one, from the 2000 to the 2023 is always the USA, with an average around the 775 TWh per year, meanwhile for the second position there is for 20 years the France, but from the 2020 the second best is the China, who from 2000 to 2013 was neither in the top 5. In all the 24 years, the continent with the most states in the top 10 is Europe.
