China to Spend $121 Billion on Nuke Reactors
There are 25 nuclear reactors currently being built in China and they plan on building 10 more "mega" reactors in the future. The goal: raise the country's nuclear power generation by 5%, which means up to a total of 86 GW. Currently, China has 12 nuclear reactors up and running that account for 2.2% of the countries total power. This means that by 2020 China's annual demand for uranium will be up to 20,000 tons.
