China's Nuclear Reactor Expansion Program

under construction and planned

China has developed the capacity to build up to 50 nuclear reactors simultaneously, covering the entire process from design to construction. The program includes currently operating reactors, reactors under construction, and approved future reactors, aiming to reach 125 gigawatts of installed nuclear capacity, with a target of 200 gigawatts by 2040. The program emphasizes standardized reactor designs, domestic manufacturing, low-cost financing, and a large construction workforce, enabling efficient and rapid nuclear infrastructure development.
