Eight new reactors will employ the domestically designed Hualong One, a third-generation pressurised water reactor. The remaining two units will utilize the CAP1000 technology derived from the Westinghouse AP1000. China currently operates 58 nuclear reactors and is building 44 more, totaling 102 facil...
SHENZHEN, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- The construction of a new reactor forming part of a nuclear power project in the city of Lufeng in south China's Guangdong Province began on Monday, according to China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN). Adopting CAP1000, a third-generation pressurized water re...
Advanced Modular Reactors – also referred to as generation IV reactors (AMRs), leverage innovative cooling systems or fuels. Generation IV nuclear reactor concepts have the potential to go beyond low-carbon energy generation to offer new applications. These include hydrogen or heat production, or wa...

It’s true that the low-level, short-lived radioactive tritium waste it produces represents no serious danger, and the technology means that meltdowns are impossible. But costs are still high and time lines are still long—ITER’s fusion reactor is massively more expensive than ...
Our team of over 1,100 innovators are working towards generating safe, clean, and sustainable nuclear energy at a competitive cost, combining proven reactor technologies with new developments, and the closing of the fuel cycle. We have already completed the preparatory phase of the French regulators...
In its RFI, BEA sought input on nuclear technology options that could provide power and heat to replace other sources of electrical and thermal energy used at the site. It said it intends to use heat, including high-temperature energy from reactor cooling loops and waste heat, for high-...
The operation of the No. 4 unit further verified the safety, maturity, and advanced nature of Hualong One technology, said Cai Zhen, chairman of Guangxi Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. ...
