Group 1 - China's nuclear power capacity has reached the largest scale globally, with 58 operational nuclear power plants and 54 units under construction, highlighting a significant push for energy security amid global supply chain disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict [1][3] - The energy landscape in China is characterized by an abundance of coal, limited natural gas, and low oil reserves, with coal-fired power accounting for 70% of electricity generation, which poses challenges to achieving carbon neutrality goals [3][4] - The construction of nuclear power plants is seen as a critical solution to energy shortages, with each nuclear unit capable of generating enough electricity for 8 million people annually, equivalent to 3,000 wind turbines [3][4] Group 2 - Technological advancements have led to the development of the "Hualong One" nuclear reactor, which is recognized for its safety and cost-effectiveness, with generation costs as low as 0.3 yuan per kilowatt-hour, cheaper than natural gas [4][6] - The investment in nuclear power is substantial, with each nuclear unit costing over 20 billion yuan, significantly boosting local economies and related industries, particularly in Guangdong, which has the highest number of nuclear units [6][8] - Future plans include increasing the share of nuclear power to 10% by 2035 and 18% by 2060, necessitating the construction of an additional 200 nuclear units, with experimental projects for small reactors underway in remote areas [8]
