reference news reported on september 1according to a report on the u.s. diplomat website on august 28, china recently approved the construction of 11 nuclear power units. this is consistent with the country's recent guidance on accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.
china's installed capacity of nuclear power plants in operation is slightly lower than that of france, which ranks second in the world, but china's ambitious expansion plans are expected to enable it to surpass the united states, which currently ranks first, in the future. currently, china's nuclear power generation has exceeded that of france for several consecutive years.
china's motivation for expanding nuclear power production is to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels while meeting growing energy demand and striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, the report said.
in the field of nuclear power, china is at the forefront of advancing and applying cutting-edge technologies. china has developed its own third-generation nuclear power technology "hualong one" and is becoming a technology leader and supplier in the global nuclear power market. in addition, china is also at the forefront of fourth-generation nuclear reactor technology. in december 2023, the world's first fourth-generation nuclear power plant was put into commercial operation in china.
