China eyes more nuke power
Print Edition
China will further develop nuclear power to fulfill its target of increasing the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption to 20 percent of the total energy consumption by 2030, a climate official said yesterday.
The statement was made by Xie Zhenhua, China鈥檚 special representative on climate change, during a press conference held by the State Council in Beijing.
In coastal areas with suitable conditions, some nuclear power plants are already being built and technology is being upgraded.
China is also selecting inland sites for nuclear power plants, but it still requires further argumentation about the time and locations, according to Xie.
鈥淪ecurity should be considered the most important factor when developing nuclear power,鈥 Xie said, adding that China was committed to ensuring equipment, management and location safety.
China鈥檚 nuclear power development was put on hold following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in March 2011.
Approvals for new nuclear plants were also suspended and a nationwide safety review launched after the incident. Approvals were cautiously resumed in October 2012.
The State Council approved major hydropower and nuclear power projects last week, vowing to continue developing clean energy to secure steady economic growth.
