Table 1 China's Nuclear Energy Development and Safety Strategy
Development Stage Plans for National Development Goals for Nuclear Energy Development Nuclear Power Projects Launched Nuclear Safety Strategic Goals
Initial development stage The Sixth Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (1981-1985)
  • Building a 300 MW nuclear power station
  • Developing equipment for this nuclear power station
  • Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1
A nuclear safety regulatory system in line with international standards and regulatory models is put in place to exercise independent regulation.
The Seventh stage Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (1986-1990)
  • Building nuclear power stations step by step with a targeted focus
  • Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1, 2
Early development stage The Ten-year Program (1991-2000) and the Eighth Early Five-year Plan for development National Economic stage and Social Development (1991-1995)
  • Encouraging the balanced development of hydropower and thermal power and the proper development of nuclear power based on local conditions
  • Focusing on building Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant Phase II in the five years from 1991
  • Developing 600 MW nuclear power units
  • Building, expanding and transforming large and medium-scale hydropower, thermal power, and nuclear power stations step by step
  • Qinshan Nuclear Power Nuclear Power Plant Phase II, Units 1, 2, 3, 4
The principle of safety and quality first, and prioritizing safety in the development of nuclear energy is always upheld.
Early development stage The Ninth Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (1996-2000) and Vision for 2010
  • Implementing the principle of supporting the balanced development of hydropower and thermal power and the proper development of nuclear power based on local conditions
  • Promoting the peaceful use of nuclear technologies with a focus on developing nuclear power and the nuclear fuel cycle
  • Carrying out R&D into the application of low-temperature nuclear heat
  • Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1, 2
  • Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, Phase III, Units 1, 2
  • Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1, 2
The principle of safety and quality first, and prioritizing safety in the development of nuclear energy is always upheld.
The 10th Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (2001-2005)
  • Properly developing nuclear power
  • Supporting the development of new and efficient power generation equipment such as large gas turbines, pumped storage units, and nuclear power units
  • Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant, Units 3, 4
