SHENZHEN, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- China's total nuclear power generation capacity, including units in operation, under construction and officially approved, ranks first in the world, according to the China Energy Research Society (CERS). China has 58.08 million kilowatts of nuclear power units in ...
BEIJING, April 23 (Xinhua) -- Nuclear power generation on the Chinese mainland reached 440,000 gigawatt-hours in 2023, accounting for nearly 5 percent of total national electricity output, according to the China Atomic Energy Authority on Tuesday. This achievement is equivalent to saving 130 mill...

Nuclear power plants mainly rely on nuclear fission to release energy, heat water into steam and drive steam turbines to generate electricity. Additionally, the steam can not only be used for power generation, but also be applied in industrial production, said Liu Yongsheng, maintenance general man...
In the period between 1995 and 2005, China's nuclear power generation outpaced all other forms of energy in growth, by an annual average of 15.3 percent against the average 9.5 percent for total energy. In spite of that, the existing nine reactors in commercial operation, totaling 6,990 MW...
Inland siting of nuclear power plants increases total capacity, but the impact is limited without climate policy. The share of annual nuclear generation across scenarios/studies is unlikely to rise above 11% by 2030 and 30% by 2050 of total Chinese electricity generation. A dramatic increase in ...
HTGR is an advanced type of reactor that features fourth-generation nuclear power technology, and a key development direction of nuclear power, said Zhang Zuoyi, chief designer of the major program of HTGR nuclear power station and dean of the nuclear energy and new energy technology institute of...

Nuclearenergy generation does not release any of the greenhouse gasses that contribute to air pollution and global warming, so China has turned to nuclear as a way to produce large quantities of clean energy fast. "The Chinese have been pro-nuclear for a long time, but now they seem t...
The world's first fourth-generation nuclear power plant, China's Shidaowan high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) nuclear power plant, officially went into commercial operation on Wednesday in Rongcheng, Shandong province, according to the National Energy Administration and China Huaneng Group. ...
