Description

Since 1980's with increase of requirement of electric power the peaceful use of nuclear energy in China is flourishing. Now three units, total installed capacity of 2,000 MWe, are in operation. In the ninth five-year-plan (1996 to 2000) another eight units, total installed capacity of 6,600 MWe, will be under construction. In the first half of next century the installed capacity of 120 to 240 GWe shall be constructed so that the market of nuclear electricity in China shall be attractive. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

In der Volksrepublik China werden drei Kernkraftwerksbloecke auf den Standorten Qinshan (300 MWe, DWR) und Daya Bay (zwei DWR, je 900 MWe) betrieben. Dabei entwickelt die kerntechnische Industrie des Landes eigene Reaktorlinien, kooperiert aber auch mit auslaendischen Partnern in Frankreich, Kanada und Russland. Der Trend geht zu groesseren Einheiten, von 300 ueber 600, 720, 900 bis 1000 MWe. Bis Mitte des naechsten Jahrhunderts sollen Kernkraftwerke einen Anteil von 10 bis 20% an der dann insgesamt installierten Kraftwerksleistung von 1,2 TWe erreichen. (orig.)
