China plans to build 8 new nuclear plants
The Chinese government has approved the construction of eight new nuclear reactors at a cost exceeding 170 billion yuan (25 billion dollars) as part of its efforts to meet the rising demand for electricity without increasing carbon emissions. The projects include two reactors in Hainan Province and Guangdong, each with a capacity of 1,217 megawatts, enough to power one million homes. Beijing aims to reach an installed nuclear energy capacity of 110 gigawatts by 2030, representing a 76% increase over the previous year, in its pursuit of surpassing France and the United States to become the largest producer of nuclear energy before the end of the decade, despite some earlier challenges arising from the Fukushima disaster and supply chain crises.
