China is set to become the world's largest nuclear energy producer, with 112 reactor units in operation, under construction, or approved. By year-end, 70 reactors will be generating electricity. The National Nuclear Safety Administration reports a combined capacity of 125 gigawatts, with over half of the global total under construction. The government has approved 41 new reactors since 2022, investing over CNY800 billion. China has developed a complete nuclear energy supply chain, achieving over 90% localization in critical components. Safety remains a priority, with CGN reporting zero unplanned shutdowns in its reactors.
