Official projects China's 2015 nuclear powerresources
China's nuclear power installed capacity will hit 42 gigawatts by 2015, accounting for 10 percent of the world's total, a Chinesenuclear official predicted on Wednesday.
There will be 41 operating nuclear power units in China by 2015 or a little later, Zhang Huazhu, chairman of the China NuclearEnergy Association, told a seminar in Zhuhai City of south China's Guangdong Province.
"At that time, China will be building nearly 20 extra nuclear power plants," he said at the seminarunder the theme of "Nuclear Power and Environment" co-sponsored by two universities in Beijingand Hong Kong.
China now has six power plants and 15 working nuclear power units, producing nearly 3.5 percentof the world's total electricity generated by nuclear power, which also accounts for 1.85 percent ofChina's total electricity generation.
"With their good performances and the carefully chosen locations of the sites, China's nuclearpower plants have little chance of repeating what happened in Fukushima," Zhang said, referring tothe Japanese nuclear plant that was hit by massive earthquake and tsunami last year, resulting inmeltdowns and the release of radioactivity.
The State Council, or China's cabinet, said in October that the country will not construct anynuclear projects in inland regions during the 2011-2015 period, but only construct a few projectsin coastal areas that have gone through adequate justification processes.
All of China's six nuclear plant are located along its coast.
The State Council also stressed that China will apply the world's highest safety requirements to newnuclear power projects and adhere to third-generation nuclear safety standards in new projects.

中国核能行业协会理事长、国家国防科技工业局科技委副主任张华祝２８日在广东珠海出席北京师范大学－香港浸会大学联合国际学院举办的“核能与环境”的主题座谈会上说：“２０１５年底或稍后，随着我国在建机组陆续建成投产，运行的核电机组将达到４１台，总装机容量接近４２００万千瓦，约占全球核电装机容量十分之一。而且，届时将有近２０个核电机组在建。”
张华祝说，今年５月通过《关于全国民用核设施综合安全检查情况的报告》显示，中国核电事业虽起步较晚，但已拥有６家核电厂、１５台运行的核电机组，占全国总发电量的１．８５％，占全球核发电量的３．４７％，具备后发优势。而且，中国运行核电机组的安全业绩良好，迄今未发生国际核事件分级（ＩＮＥＳ）２级及以上的运行事件。
同时，中国核电厂在选址中对地震、洪水等外部事件进行了充分论证，发生类似福岛核事故的极端自然事件的可能性极小。核设施流出物监测和辐射环境监测结果也表明，核设施周边的辐射环境水平始终保持在天然本底涨落范围以内。
他表示，国家核安全局已提出了各类核设施安全改进行动，制定发布了指导和规范核电厂改进活动的《福岛核事故后核电厂改进行动通用技术要求》。
他说，今年１０月，国务院提出明确要求，按照全球最高安全要求新建核电项目，且对核电的安全目标作出明确规定，安全性能指标需保持在良好状态，避免发生２级事件，确保不发生３级及以上事件和事故，即避免发生安全系统失效事件、确保不发生任何放射性外泄事件、杜绝发生严重事件和事故。到２０２０年，核电安全保持国际先进水平，核安全与放射性污染防治水平全面提升，辐射环境质量保持良好。 |
