China’s nuclear power sector is setting the global standard for safety and scale, according to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. With 102 nuclear power units on the Chinese mainland—58 fully operational—its 113 million kilowatts of installed capacity now ranks first worldwide. 💪
Officials revealed that these units have clocked over 600 reactor-years of accident-free operation. (Think of it like binge-watching *every Marvel movie* 80+ times without a glitch!) 🌟 The World Association of Nuclear Operators consistently places China among the top performers globally for safety protocols.
But how? According to Hou Yingdong, a ministry official, China’s nuclear plants are strategically located away from earthquake zones. Designs also account for extreme weather, including floods and tsunamis. 🏗️ Plus, the country boasts the world’s largest radiation monitoring network, ensuring eco-friendly operations since day one. 🌱
Radiation levels around plants? ‘Remain good’ year after year, says Li Zhiguo, another ministry rep. So whether you’re a student tracking energy trends or a traveler eyeing sustainable tech, China’s nukes are quietly powering the future. ⚡
