China Aims for Nuclear Expansion with Approval of 10 New Reactors
Approval aligns with China’s climate goals and strengthens its position as a leader in nuclear energy.
China has officially approved the construction of 10 new nuclear reactors across its coastal regions, strengthening its commitment to expanding nuclear energy amidst increasing global interest in this power source.
This decision is pivotal as China seeks to reach significant climate objectives, namely peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.
Among the newly approved reactors, eight will utilize the Hualong One design, which is a domestically developed third-generation pressurized water reactor.
The remaining two reactors will be based on the CAP1000 technology, which is derived from the Westinghouse AP1000 design.
