Nuclear Power in China

 

Nuclear Power in China

(Updated 13 December 2012) 
  • 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 a five- or six-fold increase in nuclear capacity to at least 60 GWe by 2020, then 200 GWe by 2030, and 400 GWe by 2050. 
  • China has become largely self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, as well as other aspects of the fuel cycle.
