CHINA is on track to meet its goal of having 40,000 megawatts of nuclear capacity four to five years ahead of schedule, the nation's energy chief said.
The State Council, or Cabinet, has approved plans to build 34 reactors with a total capacity of 36,920MW, and 25 of them with a combined 27,730MW are under construction, Xinhua quoted Zhang Guobao, head of the National Energy Administration, as saying at a forum on Monday.
That makes China the world's No. 1 in nuclear power capacity under construction.
The first reactor under the second phase of the Ling'ao nuclear power plant started operations in Guangdong Province on Monday. "This means China's nuclear power sector is entering a season of harvest," Zhang pointed out.
At present China's installed nuclear capacity is just over 10,000MW, about 1 percent of its total installed power generation capacity.
Officials have said China is revising upward its 2020 nuclear power goal to 70,000MW-80,000MW from the original 40,000MW.
