Chinanews, Shanghai, Apr. 24 – China has worked out a nuclear strategic plan to actively boost nuclear energy use. By 2020, China’s total nuclear installed capacity will reach 40 million kilowatts. In addition, nuclear projects with a total installed capacity of 18 million kilowatts will be undertaken.

 

On Monday, the Seventh International Nuclear Power Industry Exhibition was unveiled. A seminar on the third generation of nuclear technologies was also held during the exhibition. The exhibition was organized by the China Atomic Energy Authority.

 

The International Nuclear Power Industry Exhibition was first held in 1995 and since then, the exhibition was held once every two years in China.

China is actively introducing the third generation of nuclear power technologies and tries to make innovations based on them. After grasping the upgraded technologies of the second nuclear power generation, China has decided to build some new nuclear power generating sets based on these upgraded technologies. At the same time, China starts to introduce the world's most advanced third generation of nuclear power technologies and these technologies will be applied in the country's two nuclear power projects, one in Sanmen of Zhejiang Province and another in Haiyang of Shandong Province.
