Why does China need a nuclear power plant?
The impetus for nuclear power in China is due to air pollution from coal-fired plants, as well as climate commitments and energy security. China’s policy is to have a closed nuclear fuel cycle. China has become largely self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, but is making full use of Western technology while adapting it.
How much energy will China save from a nuclear power plant?
The project guarantees 24-hour heat supply of around 288,000 gigajoules per year, saving about 10,000 tonnes of standard coal and 24,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. In May China's first batch of the carbon-14 isotope produced at a commercial reactor was dispatched from the Qinshan nuclear power plant in Zhejiang province.
Can nuclear energy improve China's energy structure?
Electrical power system supply and demand curve. As a clean energy, nuclear energy can optimize China's energy structure in a relatively short stage, promote the high-end transformation of the manufacturing industry, and accelerate the achievement of the “double carbon” goal .
Will China make nuclear energy the foundation of its power-generation system?
In December the National Energy Administration (NEA) said that China would make nuclear energy the foundation of its power-generation system in the next "10 to 20 years", adding as much as 300 GWe of nuclear capacity over that period.
What is China's nuclear capacity?
China’s currently operational nuclear capacity is only about 14% that of its wind capacity and 16% of its large utility-scale solar capacity, according to GEM data.
How to develop nuclear energy in China?
The nuclear energy must be developed safely and high efficiently. The strategy is to develop with three steps: thermal reactors, fast reactors, and fusion reactors. China has always adhered to the strategy of closed fuel cycle. Spent fuel storage facilities at some nuclear plants are close to full capacity.
