China has given green signal to go ahead with the construction of 25 new nuclear power plants besides initiating the process to clear plans to build few more, undaunted by the radiation crisis from the crippled Japanese nuclear plant at Fukushima.
The Chinese nuclear power developers are continuing preparations for new projects, “signalling their undiminished appetite for the clean energy despite Japan’s nuclear crisis” ‘China Daily’ reported today.
Meanwhile, preliminary work is being undertaken for dozens of nuclear projects that await government approval, the daily said.
China, which currently has 13 nuclear reactors, froze approvals of nuclear projects on March 16 following Japan’s nuclear crisis to conduct review of safety procedures.
Also, work was halted at 25 new plants which are under construction to review the safety procedures to withstand high intensity earthquakes.
