China is turbocharging its nuclear energy ambitions, with a new report revealing the country can now build over 40 nuclear power units simultaneously—a game-changer in the global clean energy race. 🌍🔧
According to the China Nuclear Energy Development Report 2025, released Sunday by the China Nuclear Energy Association (CNEA), 147 billion yuan ($20B+) poured into nuclear projects in 2024 alone. This fuels breakthroughs like mass-produced Hualong One reactors (China’s ‘flagship’ nuclear tech) and next-gen dome-hoisting systems. 💡
'China can now manage complex multi-unit projects from blueprint to operation—we’re setting global standards,' says CNEA’s Cao Shudong.
But it’s not just about energy:🔌
- 3 nuclear plants heated 14M+ square meters last winter ❄️→🔥
- Commercial reactors now mass-produce medical isotopes like carbon-14 💊
- International collabs thrive: 12 research hubs opened globally 🌏
From powering homes to fighting cancer, China’s nuclear toolkit is expanding—and the world is watching. 👀
