I’ve been unable to find any clear description of long-term trends, but Wikipedia’s article on the prospective nuclear renaissance seems to suggest that it exists mostly in rhetoric and long-range planning at the moment, and nuclear capacity seems to have failed to track recent increases in global power consumption (data only to 2006, though). More reactors are being built than are being closed, but not all that many more in comparison with existing capacity.
