China’s five-year plan(s) = STAGGERING
Mainland China has 22 nuclear power reactors in operation, 26 under construction and more about to start construction. At 10:00 p.m. on December 15, Unit 1 of the Fangjiashan plant in China’s Zhejiang province became China’s 22nd nuclear power reactor to enter commercial operation.
In September 2013, the Chinese State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation estimated that four to six new reactor units per year would be needed up to 2015; then six to eight units per year from 2016 to 2020, and 10 units each year after 2020. Do the math based on 400,000+ pounds of new U3O8 demand annually for each new reactor. Right now, a new reactor is turned on in China every two months, but by 2020 it has been proposed that a new reactor will be plugged into the grid EVERY MONTH!

The success of Chinese plans for nuclear power are an absolute necessity due to: the electrification of cities and power manufacturing centers; plans for large-scale seawater desalination by 2015; and demands to replace coal-fired power plants with less-polluting power sources.
