🧑🎓 >650K Students Enrollments. 300+ Nuclear Reactor PWRs. East Asia Leads Life Expectancy.
Chart of the Day #147 looks at Student Enrollments, Nuclear Reactors, and Life Expectancy.
Kia ora 🥝
China has expanded its Shidaowan high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) nuclear power plant, aiming to offset 11.5M tons of standard coal consumption and 27.6M tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. A recent survey indicates that Japanese life expectancy increased for the first time in three years in 2023, possibly due to a decrease in COVID-19-related and cancer-related deaths.

🧑🎓 Singapore’s Educational Institutions Had Over 650K Enrollments
In 2023, Singapore had a total of over 650,000 enrollments in educational institutions. Primary schools led with 233,900 students, followed by secondary schools at 162,700. Universities had 120,700 enrollments, while polytechnics accounted for 85,400. The trend shows a significant concentration of enrollments in primary and secondary education, emphasizing the focus on foundational education in Singapore.
⚛️ Over 300 Operational Nuclear Reactors Globally Are PWRs
In 2023, over 300 nuclear reactors were Pressurized Light-Water Reactors (PWR), making them the most common type. PWRs are favored for their robust safety features, efficiency, and widespread application in generating electricity. They use ordinary water as a coolant and moderator, allowing high-pressure operation and efficient heat transfer, making them a reliable choice in nuclear energy production.
🧓East Asia Led in Life Expectancy at 84 Years in 2021
In 2021, East Asia topped the life expectancy charts with Japan and South Korea at 84 years. Europe followed closely, with most countries in Europe averaging around 83 years. This trend highlights the advanced healthcare systems and high living standards in East Asia.
