China sets to build 8 new nuclear reactors
The Chinese government has approved the construction of eight new nuclear reactors at a cost of over $25 billion, aiming to meet the growing demand for electricity without increasing carbon emissions. The reactors will be built in four provinces, with two reactors each in Heshou and Guangdong, and will have a production capacity of 1,217 megawatts per reactor, enough to power one million homes. China’s goal is to reach an output of 110 gigawatts of nuclear energy by 2030, as part of its effort to surpass France and the United States to become the world's largest producer of nuclear power, after previously failing to meet its targets due to delays in approvals and supply chain challenges.
