‘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.’<\/p>\n
The article goes on to state\u00a0 that this first version is installed near Beijing – China’s capital city with a population of just under 20 million.<\/p>\n
‘The fourth-generation reactor, located just outside Beijing<\/strong>, 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.’<\/p>\n
