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.
A clean energy resource. Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms â a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions. By reliably providing power 24 hours a day, nuclear energy is an important part of the energy mix necessary to meet electricity demand. And, with no carbon emissions, it will remain an important clean energy resource for the future.
