i read an article in 2009 that the 20 year goal is 105 nuclear plants and complete dependence on nuclear power to get rid of all pollution, glad they changed their mind and only 30 or so, just hope they keep them away from earthquake prone areas, china had the worst earthquake in history in 1551 but most people here dont even know this.

andy74rc:

One of the forecasted and approved ones is to be built in Sichuan.

 A little off topic, last year I had the brakes done on my car, turns out too many parts are made in China. The first time I hit the brakes hard my anti-lock brakes kicked in and I had no brakes at all. Turns out the discs and drums which were brand new were all out of round. The Chinese just do not seem to want to make good products or have quality control. I'm against nuke power plants. They are unsafe to start with. There is no small oops with nuke power and add Chinese quality controls in the mix. Yer just asking for it.

 We have nuke plants in Ont Canada, the original idea was that they could make electricity too cheap to even meter, yeah right , those things cost so much that we have now added to our electric bills ''debt reduction'' and our bills are through the roof. 

 Here's my idea, give every body a stationary bike with a small generator and plug it into the grid. You have to produce twice as much energy as you consume and you don't pay. Ok that won't work, but I live down wind from a nuke plant and I can use a glass of water like a flash light.

you don't think it is possible to harness all the energy put into spitting ?

A billion people leaking methane might be a possible energy source.

Instead of collecting bottles and cans, they could be filling them up.

Haven't been following the news lately (except European football), but if what you say is accurate, I'm getting the hell outta here.  The Chinese can't effin build anything without it falling apart in 20 years or less. Nuclear reactors? God help us.

Not even a concern. I am confident that the Chinese have 5000 years experience building nuclear reactors. indecision

One years experience 5000 times. There is a big difference.

Watched a documentary China on 4 wheels anyway theres a guy who wanted a cleaner future for his child and wanted to change things and now  has created a whole city dedicated to solar power energy and is largest producer in China for solar panels. The place looks beautiful and watching it gives me hope for China and at least i know there's some people trying.

TedDBayer:

They are putting solar farms in like crazy around me in Canada, from a distance they look like lakes. Wind turbines also, but nobody wants them.

I live between Picton and Napanee in Ontario. One of Harpers(PM) friends is trying to push wind turbines here, but nobody wants them. Solar farms are every where, huge ones and many people put in 6 to 8 big panels. I was thinking of putting some on my property, pay back was 4 years, but the contract rate went way down.

I worked a long time at nuclear power plant maintenance in the States.  It is late, and I have had a few beers, but I would be surprised if Chinese guys managed a nuclear power plant correctly.  I live in 2nd tier Hunan; everything is more or less broken. Everything.

An accident waiting to happen, if they cannot even build a relatively simple thing like a bridge  without it collapsing because a truck drove over it then what chance does a nuclear power station stand.

andy74rc:

Oh well, China already have 17 reactors in 6 sites. They all worked flawlessly so far..... at least as far as it's known, don't they... :(

The Japanese were close. They just screwed up when they built their cooling towers at near ground level.

It's a very good idea to build anything at ground level. What a maroon.

By the way. For the nuclear skeptics. Try to research how many people die each year from the effects of coal based electricity generation, this is all the way from the mines to the lung cancer from burning the stuff in the power plants. 

In Japan, since the tsunami knocked out Fukushima, more people will have died from the burning of fossil fuels than from the Fukushima disaster. Naturally more people will die in the years to come from any radiation they have been subjected to, but the fossil fuels will also continue to kill.

Chinese State Company are building, and mostly funding Hinckley Point in the U.K. with EDF  the largest Nuclear Power Company in the world from France.They are funding the project and building it to reach E.U. Standards which are the most demanding in the world.Maybe they just practise in the U.K now,see if it works,technology and world inovation has moved to the East now.
