Comment to the Elsevier Book A Survey of the Status of electricity generation in the world

Chapter 1 will be significantly updated with new data, because within last 3 years we have quite visible changes in electricity generation in the world. Also, the chapter will be increased in a number of pages up to 50%. New material for the Chapter will be partially based on the following papers: a) Pioro, I., Duffey, R.B., Kirillov, P.L., Pioro, R., Zvorykin, A., and Machrafi, R., 2019. Current Status and Future Developments in Nuclear-Power Industry of the World, ASME Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science, Vol. 5, No. 2, 27 pages.
