Nuclear Power in China

(Updated March 2013)

• Mainland China has 17 nuclear power reactors in operation, 28 under construction, and more about to start construction.  
• 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 58 GWe by 2020, then possibly  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.  http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/Country-Profiles/Countries-A-F/China--Nuclear-Power/#.UUDmVBjy-pI
