How this figure is calculated
Primary energy from nuclear divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Primary energy from nuclear ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Primary energy from nuclear Energy Institute – Statistical Review of World Energy (2026); Smil (2017) – with major processing by Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
