"The United States is the world's largest supplier of commercial nuclear power. In 2003, there are 104 U.S. commercial nuclear generating units that are fully licensed to operate. (Note: One reactor, however, Brown's Ferry unit 1 has been shut down since 1985. Therefore, some sources cite only 103 units.) Together, they provide about 20 percent of the Nation's electricity. Individuals not familiar with the nuclear industry may wish to consult the introductory feature (http://eia.doe.gov/cneaf/nuclear/page/intro.html) for general information."
Some interesting information can be found here. (http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/nuclear/page/nuc_generation/gensum.html) I didn't know the U.S. produced the most power from nuclear energy; I would have guessed Japan.
