Chinanews, Shanghai, Sept 24 – According to China's new national nuclear power development plan, by 2010 the installed capacity of China's nuclear power plants then being in operation will reach 12 million kilowatts1. By 2020, China will build 31 new nuclear power plants, with the installed capacity of the operating nuclear power plants reaching 40 million kilowatts and the installed capacity of the nuclear power plants being under construction reaching 18 million kilowatts by that time, the Shanghai Securities Journal reported.

 

In order to realize this goal, China needs to build at least two nuclear power plants every year with an installed capacity of one million kilowatts and the country's total input2 for nuclear power plant construction will reach 500 billion yuan.

 

As one of the major nuclear nations in the world, China has a huge demand for nuclear power and it has carried out several cooperative projects with other countries with regard to nuclear use. This, as some experts say, might make China one of the most promising3 countries in the world in promoting nuclear power use.

 

In Asia, no other countries have a great demand for nuclear use as China. According to information from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), of all the 65 nuclear power plants that are being built or planned to be built in the world, two-thirds are located in Asia, especially in China. At present, nuclear power accounts for only 2% of the total power consumption in China. China has outlined a program that aims at changing the structure of its energy use. In complying with this program, the country will place nuclear power as the top priority.
