Developing Nuclear Power in a Proactive and Planned Manner
China's nuclear power industry took shape in the 1980s. As of the end of 2020, there were 49 nuclear power units in operation with an installed capacity of 51,027 MWe, ranking third in the world. In 2020, the cumulative electricity generation from operating nuclear power plants was 366.243 TWh, accounting for 4.94% of the total electricity generation on the Chinese mainland. So far, there have been no events rated at level 2 or above on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. The existing nuclear power units have generally delivered satisfactory performance. There are 16 nuclear power units under construction, with an installed capacity of 17,367 MWe, the largest in the world in recent years. Relying on innovation and homegrown expertise, China has made the leap from Gen II to Gen III. It is a world leader in nuclear power equipment manufacturing and nuclear power plant construction, and has developed a reliable nuclear fuel supply network and a complete nuclear power industry chain.
积极有序发展核电
中国大陆核电事业起步于 20世纪 80年代。截至 2020年底，在运核电机组 49台，装机容量 5102.7万千瓦，位居世界第三。 2020年运行核电机组累计发电量 3662.43亿千瓦时，占大陆总发电量的 4.94%。未发生过国际核事件分级（ INES）2级及以上的运行事件，核电机组性能指标总体处于良好水平。在建核电机组 16台，装机容量 1736.7万千瓦，在建规模多年全球第一。中国具备核电自主创新和独立设计能力，实现了核电技术由“二代”向“三代”的跨越；核电装备制造和核电建设能力位列世界前列；建立了可靠的核燃料供应体系，形成了完整的核电产业链。
