China Approves 11 New Nuclear Reactors in Bold Push for a Greener Future

China’s five provinces have recently seen seven new nuclear reactors — and another four approved — as the nation continues to seek renewable energy sovereignty and eco-friendliness. It appears that Beijing has endorsed these projects, and gave out the most nuclear permits in a single year. The $31. 3bn plan, which touches on nuclear power plants’ construction, stands as a clear indication of China’s intention to become world’s biggest atomic energy producer by the year 2030. 
 
 New reactors located in Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Guangxi will energise millions of homes and help transform China into low carbon economy. The move is in par with the government’s plans to curb on carbon emissions and address the issue of climate change despite the country is in the middle of a progress in achieving the environmental objectives set. 
 
 Among the approved reactors, Jiangsu’s Xuwei, a high-tech plant, is noteworthy. The new model to be unveiled will be the fourth generation high-temperature gas cooled reactor; it will have advanced safety features and will operate both for heat and electricity generation. At the same time, the stakes are rising higher with only two more reactor projects left, and these are the Hualong One reactors, the newest models of nuclear reactors designed and built by the Chinese themselves. 
 
 And so the world beholds China that is preparing for a new status as the leader of nuclear energy, the future that is cleaner and greener. Currently, there are 56 operating nuclear reactors and the countries’ electricity mix is changing very fast for the better” “The country aims to deliver a better tomorrow to its 1. 4 billion citizens and beyond.
