Chinese New Nuclear Reactor
China is emerging as the worlds great believer in nuclear power.
Chinese new nuclear reactor. 12 November 2021. China prepares to test thorium-fuelled nuclear reactor. China claims its floating nuclear reactors which will power off-shore oil rigs can withstand once-in-10000-year storms.
The first of the units twin reactors achieved first criticality in September. China is one of the worlds largest producers of nuclear power. The 60-megawatt reactor is being developed off Chinas East Coast to power oil rigs and islands in the Bohai Waterway an inner sea with generally calm waters.
The second reactor of the High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor-Pebble-bed Module HTR-PM at the Shidaowan plant in Chinas Shandong province has reached criticality for the first time China Huaneng has announced. This floating reactor is the result of a Chinese plan drawn in 2016 which aims at commercializing a new generation of small and portable nuclear reactors. China has launched a new high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear plant in the eastern coastal province of Shandong the first to make use of pebble bed reactor PBR technology developed by state-run China National Nuclear Corporation CNNC.
