An Overview of Chinese Gen IV projects

From Brian Wang

Last word that I heard was that construction had started early this year and they were targeting 2015.

Eventually there would be 18 to 36 follow up units and they would be looking to develop factory mass production with shorter build times.

Is there any new public presentations

i have published on presentations by Zouyi Zhang, My Zhanying and DONG, Yujie of the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET), Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

there was a 2005 presentation where people China talked about using uranium from phosphate, breeder reactors
and offsite recycling of fuel to close the fuel cycle by 2030-2050. (ramp up time)

Also as noted China kicked off the thorium molten salt project under what appears to be the budget of the
Academy of Science. any presentations or info on that would be great.
