Nuclear Power in China

Nuclear Power in China

(Updated May 2011) 
  • Mainland China has 14 nuclear power reactors in operation, more than 25 under construction, and more about to start construction soon. 
  • Additional reactors are planned, including some of the world's most advanced, to give more than a ten-fold increase in nuclear capacity to at least 80 GWe by 2020, 200 GWe by 2030, and 400 GWe by 2050. 
  • China is rapidly becoming self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, as well as other aspects of the fuel cycle.
