Around 46 terawatt-hours of nuclear energy production losses were due to adverse weather conditions worldwide between 1990 and 2019. In comparison, over 120 terawatt-hours were lost due to grid failure. The number of nuclear power outages due to extreme weather events worldwide was five times large in decade 2009-2019 than in the period 1990-1999.
