Nuclear Power in China
China is expanding its nuclear power capabilities in response to air pollution and energy security concerns. The country aims to achieve a closed nuclear fuel cycle and has become self-sufficient in reactor design while also utilizing Western technology. Future plans include increasing nuclear capacity to 110 GWe by 2030 as part of its broader energy strategy.
- ▪China's nuclear power policy is driven by the need to reduce air pollution from coal-fired plants.
- ▪The country has set a target of 110 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2030 as part of its 15th Five-Year Plan.

HOME / Information Library / country profiles / countries-a-f / China: Nuclear Power country profiles Nuclear Power in China Updated Friday, 24 April 2026 The impetus for nuclear power in China is due to air pollution from coal-fired plants, as well as climate commitments and energy security. China’s policy is to have a closed nuclear fuel cycle. China has become largely self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, but is making full use of Western technology while adapting it. Relative to the rest of the world, a major strength is the nuclear supply chain. China’s policy is to ‘go global’ with exporting nuclear technology including heavy components in the supply chain.
