Chinese Nuclear Power Building Spree

(Beijing, China) During a recent interview, Liu Wei, VP of China Nuclear Power Engineering Corp., said his nation plans to build six new nuclear power plants each year for the next decade.

Plans are that China will have about 70 nuclear reactor facilities online by 2020, Liu Wei said.

Currently, China has 13 reactors with a total output capacity of 11 gigawatts.

Twenty-five new nuclear power plants are already under construction, nearly half of all new facilities being built worldwide.

Meanwhile, the United States is effectively handcuffed from doing anything. Heh.
