China has 21 nuclear reactors under construction which will have a capacity for generating more than 21 gigawatts of electricity, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. That is two and a half times more nuclear reactors under construction than any other country.
I love that China is not planning to power all future demand with more coal and gas.
The US won’t stage a comeback by sticking to outdated designs. Try something newer and safer with less waste, like a pebble reactor.
We already have newer and safer designs using water as a moderator. The problem is none of them have been built in a long, long time.
