This is incorrect. Looking at the list[1], only 2 remaining reactors in Canada were built before the NPT was complete, and they're both scheduled to shut down in 2024. So essentially the entire Canadian nuke fleet was built after. Same thing for France. And Germany.
For the US, also same - only a few that started construction before the 1968 signing remain working. Most operational plants started construction in the 1969-1976 range.
