This makes complete sense.Coal has been their goto forever ,but it is an athmosphere wreaker and they want out of it. Switching up to nuclear for grid power anchors the whole electrification program. Better may someday be available but nuclear is now.
idia also needs as many reactors as well.
In fact, it turns out that the whole world will modernize over the next two generations and nuclear happens to be deliverable now. wind and solar with batteries may now be economic, but never solid enough for 24/7 grid power.
China aims to be the new global king of nuclear power, and no one is paying attention
By Jo Nova
Quietly while Australians were talking about Grace Tame or Britanny Higgins the levers of industrial power are shifting gear
While Australia has a puritanical objection to nuclear power there are 437 operating reactors around the world producing 9% of global electricity. One day Australians might be as technologically advanced as Armenia and Bangladesh. We can only hope…
For the last fifty years, the leaders of the world in nuclear power have been the US first and then France second, and by a long way, but China is about to change that global tally board.

Under Construction
There are 78 Reactors Under Construction which will add another 78,986 MWe, and nearly all of that is in one country.

The tally board stands at 438 Operable Reactors with a capacity of 400,680 MWe producing 9% Share of Global n Electricity Generation and 2,667,383 GWh (2024).
Why aren’t we talking about this?
