Who builds commercial nuclear reactors worldwide?
This infographic shows the origin of nuclear reactors under construction across the world. Almost a third of all new projects is implemented by Russia’s Rosatom corporation.

This is definitely wrong. For example, I know Canada has reactors under construction: https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1002543/ontario-breaks-ground-on-world-leading-small-modular-reactor
They haven't started construction of that reactor in the article you're referencing from 2022, they are talking about site preparations for construction of the reactor, early construction basically, not even sure if that counts for the Wiki page they sourced, if they have begun by now it might not be reflected in this https://wiki.froth.zone/wiki/Category:Nuclear_power_stations_with_reactors_under_construction?lang=en as Statista lists many more Chinese projects than Wikipedia does.
When they do /if they did begin working on the actual reactor, it's projected to have 1/3 (?) the output of a regular commercial nuclear reactor, so I leave it to you to argue for its inclusion on Wikipedia.
It took me a lot of time to realize that the flags next to the Countries' names are where the origin is shown
Is Germany building a nuclear plant in south America?
I wondered how they could be qualified since the most recent plants were opened during the end of the 80s and they shut down the last ones last year.
Well, that particular plant in Brazil started construction in the 70s when the military dictatorship, instead of actually investing in the country, decided to pander to its allies and overpaid for old tech, definitely not pocketing a bunch of money. Construction went on and off for a while and went back (for good?) in 2022
Wasn't Germany stopping nuclear?
In Germany yes, not in Brazil apparently
Yes, the graphic is wrong. Commercial nuclear fission power plants are either shutting down or will be shut down. New construction is not allowed.
"United Kingdom" ? Yeah good map if this was 1915.
Was the UK positioned alone in the middle of the Atlantic in 1915?
The World Health Organization needs to stay in their lane and deal with health issues, not building reactors.
