The construction of three new plants started in 2010 and 24 plants of 26.65
million kilowatts' installed capacity are still under construction, which ranks first in
the world with nuclear power plants under construction.
Table
5.3
shows the conditions of China's nuclear power plants that have been
placed into operations or are under construction.
The nation has operated nuclear power stations in safe conditions and with good
performance. Its main parameters are better than global averages.
Nuclear power plants produce fewer radioactive gas and liquid waste year by
year and meet standard limits sanctioned by the state.
The country promotes nuclear power technologies of third generation to make as
mainstream technologies in the short term.
Additional research has been conducted on nuclear power technologies of fourth
generation that are represented as fast reactors, gas cooled reactors of ultra-high
temperature and SC water reactors to lay a foundation for further development.
Qinshan, first nuclear power station has been operating for 14 years and the last
fuel cycle maintained safe operations for 400 days.
In recent years, the Dayawan Nuclear Power Station is developing its operation
capability and ranks among the top in the world.
5.1.2.2 Policies for Domestic Nuclear Power Development
The national Long- and Medium-Term Development Plan for Nuclear Power
(2005-2020), remains “appropriate development” that will be adjusted to “proac-
tive development,” to reach “ installed capacity at 40 million kilowatts, while 18
million kilowatts are under construction and scheduled to be completed by 2010.”
