En Espanol aqui

China's 2016-2020 five-year plan reaffirms its intention to have 100 rectors in operation, producing 58GW of electricity, by 2020. This trajectory has China overtaking the USA as the world's largest generator of nuclear energy in only fifteen years as China grapples with a problem that supersedes any temporary economic slowdown - replacing polluting energy sources with clean energy.

In October alone, China brought its 28

th reactor to full commercial production, connected two to the power distribution grid (the threshold for "operational status") and another reactor achieved first criticality.

Unit 2 of the Fuqing power plant attained commercial operation status on October 16;
The Yangjiang 3 and Fangchenggang 1 reactors were connected to the electricity distribution grid on 18 and 25 October respectively, bring to 30, the number of operational reactors in China;
The Changjiang 1 reactor reached first criticality on October 12 and is likely to be connected to the grid in November. This means that the reactor achieved a sustained chain reaction for the first time.
