China responds to Fukushima
Before
the Fukushima nuclear disaster, China had a relatively small fleet of
14 nuclear reactor units with a relatively small capacity -- less than
12 gigawatts of electricity -- but the country had big nuclear plans. It
led the world in new reactor construction, with 27 units under way,
five units approved and awaiting construction, and another 16 units
scheduled. If all current construction went forward as planned, the
country would be ensured of reaching its original target of 40 gigawatts
of nuclear-generated electric capacity by 2020.
