Radiation emissions remain below the 1,000 microsieverts threshold.

Commercial operation is expected next month.

There are other power sources that are easier and cheaper to deploy, experts said.

China added only a gigawatt of nuclear capacity in 2023.

Authorities also relaxed rules to inject more financing in nuclear power.

This will be quadrupled by 2050.

It is slightly behind the 32.4% target.

This will facilitate transfer of knowledge and equipment for nuclear energy development.

Every 1,000MW of nuclear energy could reduce carbon emissions by 3.1 million CO2-equivalent tonnes per year. 

Commercial operation by 2023-2024 is to be expected.

CNNC starts construction work of its $17b-worth project.

The sixth unit of the Tianwan nuclear project has already begun operations.
