Of the thirty-one countries which operate nuclear power plants, only France uses them as its primary source of electricity, although many countries have a significant nuclear power generation capacity. Some nations have plans to start a nuclear power program; these includes OECD members, such as Poland, and developing countries, such as Bangladesh and Vietnam. China and India are both pursuing an ambitious expansion of their nuclear power capacities.
