The Chinese government has said many times since the end of 2013 that it will build more nuclear power plants in the coastal areas of eastern China without compromising the region's safety.
On May 16, the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration and the Ministry of Environment Protection disclosed a program, saying that they will press forward with the construction of safe and efficient nuclear power plants, which they said are one of the country's important energy sources.
Pan Ziqiang, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, told Shanghai's China Business News that nuclear power was a practical option for China to check air pollution.
