Installed Capacity of Nuclear Power in China, 2003-2010

Feb. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- Nuclear energy is important in nuclear power as a significant part of power industry. Nuclear power plays an important role in global energy projects for it’s not pollution to the air. China is no exception in using this new energy.

China initiated its nuclear power industry in 1985. It has installed 11 nuclear power units during 23 years since 1985 with installed gross capacity about 9 million KW.

China’s nuclear power plants mainly gather in the coastal areas such as Zhejiang, Guangdong and Jiangsu including the following projects: Qinshan nuclear power plant (phase 1, 2, 3), Dayawan nuclear power plant, Lingao nuclear power plant (phase 1), Tianwan nuclear power plant. The nuclear power technologies mainly come from France, Canada, and Russia which were improved after being introduced into China. However, China has successfully developed its own nuclear power technology which was used in Qinshan nuclear power plant (phase 1)

Many nuclear power plants have been under construction in these coastal provinces such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Fujian and Shandong since 2005. Meanwhile, as the demand of power is increasing, many inland nuclear power plants will be constructed in these interior provinces such as Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Sichuan and Chongqing. The patterns that nuclear power plant can only be constructed in coastal areas will be changed.
The unprecedented snow disaster in early 2008 had drawn people’s more attention. Under such situation, China began to attach great importance to the development of nuclear power.

In 2006, “Medium and Long-term Development Plan for Nuclear Power (2005-2020)” hasd been approved in China, with the following goals: by 2020, China’s nuclear power installed capacity will account for 4% of power installed gross capacity, adding up to 40 million KW. According to the latest news in November, 2008, China considered adjusting this plan by increasing the nuclear power installed capacity from 40 million KW to 70 million KW in 2020. China will enjoy a wide prospect in nuclear power market.
