General U.S. Nuclear Info. U.S. electricity from nuclear energy in 2016: 19.7 percent, with 805.3 billion kilowatt-hours generated. Number of states with operating reactors: 30. Nuclear plants made up the largest percentage of the electricity generated in 2016 in six states. Nuclear industry capacity factor (2016): 92.1 percent.
