Who owns the reactor fleet

Attributing 393 of 405 GW of operating capacity to an owner by stated share, the five largest owners hold 42% of it between them.

Where a reactor has one owner on record, that owner is credited with its full capacity, whether or not a percentage was stated, because there is no one else it could belong to. Where a reactor has several owners, only stakes with a stated percentage are counted here. 26 owner rows on jointly-owned reactors, worth about 11.3 GW, are left out rather than guessed. 11 of those are a claim of 100% ownership on a reactor with other owners listed, which is self-contradictory, so it is treated as not stated rather than as one company owning the whole plant. This is ownership stake, not who operates the plant day to day; see each reactor's own page for the operator.
