‘China said Friday it had hooked its first so-called “fourth generation” nuclear reactor to the grid, a breakthrough that could eventually reduce its reliance on uranium imports.’
The article goes on to state that this first version is installed near Beijing – China’s capital city with a population of just under 20 million.
‘The fourth-generation reactor, located just outside Beijing, has a capacity of just 20 megawatts. Other recently launched nuclear reactors in China had a capacity of more than one gigawatt, or 1,000 megawatts.’
