How would you "statistically show" a reevaluation that is in process?

You obviously can't evaluate by the outcomes, because the reevaluation is still in process, and in this particular case outcomes in terms of power to grid take at least 3 years after you have finished evaluating and started building. And sometimes a bit longer. And of course you do have plants reaching their end of life during that time, so you might not see a net positive total for a bit.

On the other hand, 22 countries just pledged to triple nuclear output by 2050 at COP28, so just a little over a month ago. That's a significant departure and includes countries that were getting out of nuclear power altogether, like Japan. It also includes all of the G7 except Germany and Italy.

Speaking of Italy, they aren't there yet, but have just made getting back into nuclear official government policy.

Germany, of course, remains a basket case, even though a majority of its citizens now oppose the "Atomausstieg".

The UK government just announced a massive (to 4x) nuclear expansion this month (January 2024).

Poland is getting into nuclear, having just approved construction of 24 (small) reactors at 6 locations.

France removed its legal requirement to reduce nuclear to less than 50% last year, and just committed to building 14 new reactors (up from only 6 just 2 months ago).

Unlike what some people think, France was not very pro-nuclear the last few decades, in fact nuclear was being actively sabotaged.

That has changed. A lot has changed since the Ukraine war revealed the dirty little secret of Germany's "Energiewende", also known nowadays as the Gazprom-Wende.

Yes, China is going for renewables. That's because China goes for everything. Including more coal. Yes, they are building out renewables, but that's because they have little to none at present, so they are still at a stage where adding more renewables won't destabilize the grid. They are also massively expanding their nuclear fleet, with no fewer than 20 (twenty!) reactors currently under construction and another 70 currently being planned. That's a tripling of what they have now.

They are also building all sorts of next generation reactors. A thorium pebble-bed reactor was connected to the grid in 2023, a thorium molten salt reactor got its operating license last year and is supposedly close to completion.

India is also planning (and on track) to triple their nuclear generating capacity, though not by 2050, but by 2031.

Ukraine is in talks with Rolls Royce to upgrade existing coal-fired power stations with nuclear reactors. The ones Rolls Royce is planning to build in a factory.

I always wondered where Rolls Royce was going to place so many nuclear reactors that producing them in factory would make sense. Old coal-powered power stations is a pretty good market, there are hundreds if not thousands of those waiting to be converted.
