in the wave of global energy transformation, a striking phenomenon has quietly emerged: european and american countries have announced the closure or reduction of nuclear power plants, while china has gone against the trend and accelerated the development of nuclear power. what strategic considerations and practical needs are hidden behind this contrast? today, let us unveil the mystery of china's accelerated development of nuclear power!

in recent years, germany, switzerland, the united states, france and other european and american countries have successively announced plans to reduce or abandon nuclear power. the root of this trend lies in the profound reflection on nuclear safety around the world after the fukushima nuclear accident. as a pioneer, germany has resolutely embarked on the road of withdrawing from nuclear power, not only because of the strong concerns of the public about nuclear safety, but also because of the promotion of environmental protection forces such as the green party. in addition, the rapid development of renewable energy such as wind power and solar energy in european and american countries has also provided an alternative to the withdrawal of nuclear power.

however, the withdrawal of nuclear power is not without cost. countries such as germany need to face multiple challenges such as power shortage, increased carbon emissions, and rising electricity prices. this is undoubtedly a severe test of their determination and ability to transform energy.

in sharp contrast to the "nuclear power retreat" in europe and the united states, china's nuclear power is welcoming unprecedented development opportunities. as the world's largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, china is well aware of the urgency of achieving the goals of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality". nuclear power, with its clean, stable and efficient characteristics, has become an important option for china's energy structure transformation.

first, nuclear power can effectively replace coal-fired power and significantly reduce carbon emissions. a million-kilowatt nuclear power plant can reduce coal consumption by millions of tons and carbon dioxide emissions by tens of millions of tons each year, which is of immeasurable value in promoting china's green and low-carbon development.
