China is the current king of new nuclear power construction. The US is attempting to launch a comeback, but its still unknown whether that will be successful.
China has 21 nuclear reactors under construction which will have a capacity for generating more than 21 gigawatts of electricity, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. That is two and a half times more nuclear reactors under construction than any other country.
I love that China is not planning to power all future demand with more coal and gas.
It's still overall, a small part of their grid. They don't have plans to expand their nuclear fleet all too much. A good chunk are experimental, and for military research.
Placating the populace (ie, averting a revolution) is the CCP’s main objective. Civil unrest is the number one thing that keeps Chinese officials up at night.
