China's nuclear power goal revised up to 8b GW

摘要

Local media is reporting that China is planning for an installed nuclear power capacity of 86 GW 2020; this ambitious target figure represents a rise of around 10 fold from the nine GW installed nuclear power capacity China had at the end of last year.rnThe revised target for the country's nuclear power programme is part of the government's efforts to increase the share of alternative energy in the predominantly thermal coal based energy mix.
