中俄正在核电领域构筑压倒性地位

Core Viewpoint - China and Russia are establishing a dominant position in the global nuclear power sector, with 90% of new nuclear reactors starting construction in 2025 being led by these two countries [2][4]. Group 1: Nuclear Power Development in China - By 2030, China's operational nuclear power capacity is projected to reach 110 million kilowatts, surpassing the United States to become the world's largest [4]. - The Chinese government has approved the construction of 10 nuclear reactors at five sites, aiming for nuclear power to account for 10% of the energy mix by 2040, up from less than 5% in 2024 [4]. - Currently, there are 27 nuclear reactors under construction in China, with approximately 60 reactors (including those under maintenance) in operation, totaling around 64 million kilowatts of installed capacity [5]. Group 2: Global Nuclear Power Landscape - In 2025, nine large nuclear reactors are expected to commence construction globally, with China contributing seven, Russia one, and South Korea one [4]. - Since 2016, over 90% of the 63 nuclear reactors that began construction worldwide have been built by China and Russia, with only five reactors from other countries (South Korea and the UK) [4]. Group 3: Small Reactor Development - China is also focusing on developing smaller reactors, with the "Linglong One" reactor in Hainan Province successfully completing cooling tests and planned to be operational by 2026 [7]. - Russia is pursuing the export of small reactors and has built 19 reactors abroad in the past decade, with ongoing projects in Turkey and Bangladesh [7]. Group 4: U.S. Nuclear Power Initiatives - The U.S. has not started construction on new commercial nuclear reactors since 2013, but efforts are underway to revive the sector, including a plan to build 10 large reactors by 2030 [8][9]. - The U.S. government is also investing in small reactor development, with plans to introduce new technologies by 2032 [9]. Group 5: Nuclear Energy Revival - The trend of nuclear energy revival, which began in the 2000s, faced setbacks after the Fukushima disaster in 2011, but a "second nuclear revival" is now emerging, driven by advancements in AI and increasing electricity demand [10].
