Taishan-1 is a 1750 MegaWatt EPR (European Pressurised Water Reactor) and the very first one to be commissioned in the world. Designed to operate for a minimum of 60 years and run on Mixed Oxide fuel and up to 5% enriched fuel. Several more like this are due on-line in the next two years.
A huge reactor and a huge milestone by any measure. The question for the bashers is - Where is all the Uranium going to come from for the next 60 years when every mine in the world is finished in 15 years?
