The China National Nuclear Corporation’s neutron reactor could generate up to 1.2GW and provide a more efficient, cleaner source of power
Named the CFR-1000, it will be China’s first commercial fourth-generation gigawatt-level fast neutron reactor. The facility is now awaiting approval and expected to become operational after 2030.
Other major nuclear powers, including Russia and the United States, are also working on advanced reactors with the aim of developing a more fuel-efficient source of power.
The event in the capital of southeastern Fujian province – where China has built a demonstration reactor – was attended by representatives from the China Atomic Energy Authority and National Energy Administration.
