What happened
China is rapidly expanding its nuclear power sector, with expectations that its production levels will surpass those of both France and the United States within the next decade. While the United States remains the world’s largest producer, China has added 34 gigawatts of capacity during the same period. This expansion is supported by claims that China can construct a new plant in about six years, compared to over a decade for some latest US reactors.
