Please bear in mind that this was the most conservative estimate I found when googling.
According to the below post, even a relatively nuclear heavy country like the US would need 5 times more nuclear power to cover the electricity need: https://www.quora.com/How-many-nuclear-reactors-would-be-required-to-power-the-United-States https://www.quora.com/How-many-nuclear-reactors-would-be-req...
So, on a global scale that would be many new reactors, including many in countries with dubious safety records in other areas.
