At present, there are 120 nuclear power units in operation and under construction approved in Chinese Mainland, with an installed capacity of 135 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world in terms of total scale. Among them, there are 62 operating units and 58 approved under construction units. According to the "15th Five Year Plan for Carbon Peak Action", the target for the installed capacity of nuclear power operation by 2030 is about 110 million kilowatts. Nuclear power has the advantages of low carbon, high energy density, and stable power supply, which will balance power growth and carbon reduction needs, ensure energy supply, and support a high proportion of new energy grid connection.Editor/Gong Ziwei
