China expects to greenlight six to eight new nuclear power units a year within the foreseeable future, an official at the China Nuclear Energy Association (CNEA) said, according to a report in state media outlet Xinhua on Wednesday.
I hope they have a good plan for the resulting high-level nuclear waste. Knowing China, they probably have, but reporting on that is unfortunately very minimal.
Permanent high level waste processing is still in progress, but they plan to process it very deeply under the Gobi desert. They're also developing new techs to aid in disposal, as well as waste recycling.
