Title: China's Nuclear Reactor Construction China, the world's most populous country, has been making significant strides in the field of nuclear energy. The country has been investing heavily in the construction of nuclear reactors to meet its growing energy demands while reducing its reliance on fossil fuels.The first Chinese nuclear power plant, Hongyanhe, was established in 1970. Since then, China has rapidly expanded its nuclear power capacity, becoming the world's largest operator of nuclear power plants. As of 2020, China had over 40 operational nuclear reactors, with more than 100 under construction or planned.China's nuclear reactor construction is focused on both pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs). The PWRs, such as the HPR1000, are designed to be safer and more efficient than previous models. The HPR1000 has been exported to several countries, including Turkey and Indonesia.In addition to domestically-built reactors, China has also been importing nuclear technology from abroad. In 2018, China signed a deal with Russia to build two VVER-1200 reactors at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province. This marks the first time that China will be building Russian-designed nuclear reactors.China's nuclear reactor construction has faced some challenges, including safety concerns and public opposition. However, thegovernment has taken steps to address these issues, such as implementing strict safety regulations and increasing transparency in the nuclear industry.Looking ahead, China plans to continue expanding its nuclear power capacity to meet its ambitious targets for renewable energy consumption. By 2035, China aims to generate 20% of its electricity from non-fossil fuel sources, with nuclear power playing a significant role in this transition.In conclusion, China's nuclear reactor construction has played a crucial role in the country's energy mix. With continued investment and technological advancements, China is poised to become a global leader in nuclear energy production.。
AbstractChina is now faced with serious air pollution, such as , NO x and SO2. It’s time to take effective and strict measures on pollution control.People should heighten the environmental awareness and take simple steps in normal. Meantime, government have to formulate relevant laws andregulations to create a harmonious society.Keywords: China, air pollution, regulations.1 Status of Air Pollution in ChinaAir quality has become a big topic in recent years. Tens of millionsof people across China have been forced to cope with high levels of --particulate matter smaller than micrometers in diameter that can penetrate the lungs and harm the respiratory, cardiovascular, cerebralvascular and nervous systems. Air pollution is not just about sore throats, but really more of a matter of life or death. The harmful effects thatsmog can have on the human body are one of the top concerns among thosewho reside in the country’s bigger cities.Due to the coal dominating energy structure, the urban atmospheric environment in China has been seriously polluted by high concentrationsof NO x and SO2since many y ears ago. With the rapid development of economy, urbanization and transportation in the past two decades, vehicle exhaust pollution also aggravated. Within the last two decades, all types ofenvironmental problems, which were experienced for nearly a century in developed countries, exploded in the developed regions in China. Regional air pollution complex, combined with coal-combustion pollution andvehicle-exhaust pollution has emerged i n key city clusters of China, which was characterized as a complex of local and regional pollution and multi-pollutants. Regional air quality has a trend of exacerbation withthe frequent occurance of photochemical smog, regional haze and acid deposition, and the health risks from toxic and harmful air pollutants.In some sense, traffic jam is one of the most severe problems disturbing traffic in Beijing for a long time and retards the development of economy. So congested a city as it is, Beijing has gotten a qualityreport on city life with ten ranking decreasing this year. The traffictopes among the entire factors.This is indeed the case. The problem has been brought to the closenotice of local authorities, especially more and more traffic researchinstitutes. Though they have a commitment to traffic jam study, theconsequences are anything but satisfactory. At the mention of traffic,Wang Qishan, mayor of Beijing, has expressed his disappointment severaltimes about congested situation in the public. Traffic in Beijing isfacing a challenge again while Olympic 2008 is coming. On the other hand, opportunity is equal to challenge if we go out of our way to discover the rub. There are some consensual opinions below.First of all, unreasonable city planning is the primary reason, notthe number of motor vehicle in nature, for Tokyo has an unchecked traffic flow with the motor quantity of 7200,000, and Beijing has usual trafficjam with only 2000,000 instead. Nowadays, it is the circle roads thatsupport more than half of traffic density, which makes its rush hourtraffic intolerable.Secondly, Compared with some big cities in the world, the quantityof taxies in Beijing is larger than any of them. Taxies occupy 30% t o 40%road area, 37% to 50% ones empty.Thirdly, high –density shopping center leads district jam. In weekend, especially in seven –day holidays like the National Day, mostof citizens go out only for sports, and then vehicles rush to shoppingcenter and entertainment district, then the traffic there is beyondwildest guess.In a word, effective measures are needed for traffic nowadays. Public methods, just like subway and bus, are one of the good ways against traffic jam. Intelligent transportation system study is pushed forward also.Another way, timely traffic control is feasible. While China-Africa summit was held, these measures were effective to a certain degree.2 Emissions of Major Air Pollutants in the CountryCoal accounts for 70 percent of China’s energy consumption. This fact is hard to change in a short term. In terms of the coal use method, 80percent of the coal was for direct combustion. Among others, coal-firedpower plants burn 50 percent of the total coal in China. Coal burning isthe major source of ambient SO2, NO x, and soot.China’s coal consumption experienced an increase by more than 800 million tons, over 500 million tons of which went to thermal power industry. The findings of relevant studies have shown that about 20,000 yuan ofeconomic losses occurred with every ton of SO2emission, and air pollution, especially acid rain has significantly constrained the efforts in achieving the goal of building a Xiaokang Society in an all-round way.Motor vehicles, industrial production, coal and dust are the mainsources of particulate matter pollution in most Chinese cities, accounts from 85% t o 90%. Motor vehicles are primary pollution source in Beijing,Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen. While in Shijiazhuang, Nanjing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Ningbo, the primary pollution source were dust, currentsource, industrial production Respectively.At present, our country has the grim situation of air pollution, theenvironment problems characterized by regional atmospheric pollutantssuch as particulate matter (PM10) and fine particulate matter increase prominently, do great harm to people's health and affect social harmonyand stability.3 How can we control air pollution in the environment?Air pollution has become a serious problem in recent years. There are a lot of causes. First of all, is the chemical noxious gases emission.We all know that there are a lot of factories around the world, they areactually emitting such gases everyday. The second one is the sharp decrease of the forests. Forest is very important to our Eco-system, itcan adjust the heat and balance the air. The third one is the urbanization. People tend to stay in the city where is actually an abnormal Eco-system. Many c ities do not have a complete system of controlling the air pollution.In order to solve such problems, there are some s imple ways to control air pollution in our daily life.(1)Drive less, ride bicycle or walk instead.(2)Replace all the lightbulbs in and around your home withenergy-efficient fluorescents that use fewer watts for the same a mount of light.(3)Choose energy-efficient appliances when it's time to buy new ones.(4)Decrease your air travel.(5)Wash clothes in cold water and line-dry whenever possible.(6)Use a low-flow showerhead, which will lessen the hot water used butnot drop your water pressure in the shower.(7)Cut down on your garbage buy fewer packaged materials(8)Unplug electronics when they are not in use, because they still takeup energy.(9)Insulate your home better(10)Buy recycled paper products and recycle as much of your waste aspossible.(11)Plant a tree.(12)Use nontoxic cleaning products.4 No Place to HideHowever, like you could see when examining crime statistics, it's not the polluters you can see that are the problem. It's the ones that havedrawn a veil, and worked in places where governments will let them havea free hand, who cause the most has, in the last thirty years, doubledin the total amount of land area that qualifies as a has also lost asubstantial amount of the forest cover on her land. This environmentalchange is causing people from the rural northwest part of China to seeknew lives along the river network in the heart of the country, along theChina air pollution central region, the new Industrial Corridor.Unfortunately, the Industrial Corridor, most of which has factoriesbuilt, or purchased from overseas and transported inland, is one of themajor garbage pollution belts in China. Wastewater outlets are causingfish to die off and raising the incidences of liver, stomach and jawcancers in people living in the villages near the factories to skyrocket.China's extensive effort to make rapid modernizations and create industrialization has resulted in the need and means f or the Three Gorges Dam, which provides hydroelectric power for much of Northern China. It's also displaced tens of millions of people who used to live, fish and farm along the Yangtze River, and caused more of the China air pollution andurban problems to expand.While China is the manufactory of the world, it's also the largestconsumer of illegally harvested timber. China's rapid pace of industrialization in the early 21st century meant that a new coal firedplant opened up roughly ever two weeks during this period in China. Furthermore, China's coal mining operations are causing underground fires that spit out tonnes of CO2, carbon dioxide, every day.5 China Environmental RegulationsChina does not regulate environmental issues the way the Western world does; in a very real sense, China is trying to catch up with the Westindustrially, without paying the surcharge that environmental sustainability will impose.This attitude created the Ten Year Boom, which culminated in increasing Beijing pollution and the 2008 Olympics, but also created anacid rain problem that impacts Korea and Japan while the soot and dustclouds of China air pollution sometimes reach the western United Statesand Canada.There is cause for hope. The same economic collapse that's drivingdown American and Western European consumption has caused a disproportionate ripple effect in the Chinese economy, which is drivenlargely by exports. Because the costs of Chinese environmental degradation was offset by the growth in GDP from the Ten Year Boom, itwas easy to overlook the issue. Now that there isn't a booming economylike before, the costs of China air pollution are coming home a nd becoming all too real.The government of China has put out a 600 billion dollar program toboost sustainability and environmental regulations, including strongincentives to build more nuclear power plants, which are far less polluting. The incentives also improve waste water treatment, and rubbish disposal. Hopefully they will also boost the cleanliness of the transportation sector, by increasing the use of electric or compressedair cars. Everything China does on an environmental scale will be a large scale experiment. The outcome is still surrounded by some d oubt. But there is hope.In the whole month of January, only five days were not covered by heavy smog i n Beijing. The city is now s eeing an increasing amount of face masks on the streets and sales for air purifiers have also shot up as a resultof recent ongoing pollution. The smog has made residents more consciousabout potential health risks. Many have taken steps to reduce the impact of the city's toxic air as much as they can. Li Dong has the details.is one of the major pollutants of the air pollution in Beijing andit poses the greatest risk to human health. Its concentration reached arecord high of 993 on January 12, almost 50 times the World HealthOrganization's recommended level. levels across most of Beijing havebeen above 400 micrograms per cubic meter for much o f the last two weeks.When the air is this hazardous, the government recommends people avoid outdoor activities. But many must still go outside causing a sharp increase in the use of face masks. Lulu is a Beijing resident. "I feltthe smog was really thick yesterday, it hurts my throat and hurts tobreathe. So I started to wear a mask today. The air pollution is really serious." Face mask sales are going through the roof both online andin-store. The most popular face mask retailer on Taobao, China's leading online shopping website, has sold more than 112,000 masks in the pastmonth.Tong Ren Tang, a large pharmacy, has also seen a dramatic increasein mask sales in recent weeks. A sales clerk says: "The pollution has been very severe the past weeks. There has been a sharp increase in face masksales in recent weeks c ompared with the same p eriod last year. "The ongoing air pollution is raising health concerns among Beijing residents. Manyare choosing to travel out of the city to avoid the thick smog, while others are purchasing air purifiers to filter indoor air. Officials have closed some factories and ordered some government cars off the road to reduce emissions. They have also proposed rules to scrap old vehicles and to ban new cement and steel factories.TOTO Beijing is the only big ceramics factory in the capital city.One of its production procedures creates dust pollution. With air pollution escalating in the last several days, the city government toldthe factory to cut production. Han Yong, deputy general manager of TOTOBeijing says halting production means big losses for the factory. "Stopping our two plants in Beijing means w e lose 1 million yuan or about160,000 US dollars per day at the eastern factory and million yuan atthe western factory. "TOTO Beijing is only one of a 103 high-pollutingfactories that have completely stopped production since Tuesday. Authorities say they were cutting the use of government vehicles by all departments by 30 percent.However, once the smog g ets lighter and the alert is lifted, factories will be back in production again. They may need to intensify productionto make up for their losses, so the problem has not really been solved.Many b elieve that the government will have to do more to cut the pollution sources, because temporary responses are not enough.As everyone who's ever visited or lived in China knows, in recent years the air pollution problem has become enormous. When you fly in to China it's often in to an insipid pall of pollution, especially if you are flying in to Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou. The yellowish cloud of toxicitythat overlies many Chinese cities is legendary.The air pollution is a combination of things, industrial burning and cooling etc as well as vehicles and other sources, with industry beingthe major polluter. The problem is not just limited to the air, groundwater and soil pollution is now so bad in China that the PRC central government refused to release it's last survey results. This maybe dueto the fact that they don't want to panic the population or scare ofinvestment.What can be done about it? Well a lot can be done, firstly China should enforce and reinforce it's own pollution laws and then ensure the standards are up to the same a s in the first world. Massive fines for serial polluters helps, I'd suggest fines of 10-20% of gross revenue for a year if a business fails to meet the emissions standards. To combat corruptionautomatic metering systems should be fitted to all smoke stacks andgenerators and results checked by at least 5 offices around China withthe offices receiving the data at random. No factory identification other than a number should be given to the office. This would eliminate briberyof pollution monitoring officers. Companies whose meters are inoperableshould be fined 10% of gross annual turnover for each day the meters are inoperable. A massive carrot and stick is required to ensure adherenceto the law. The same basic concept can be used to help combat waterpollution. Recycling probably needs to be better organized. Financialbonuses in the form of tax breaks for companies that use green packagingand or recycle waste would help.China could also look at imitating best global practices from around the world. The use of LED l ighting for example as well as energy management schemes a nd anti-pollution techniques developed in the west are only going to help China in the long term.。

勿忘国耻中华崛起英语作文英文:I will never forget the national humiliation and I am determined to see China rise. The national humiliation refers to the period of time when China was weak and exploited by foreign powers, particularly during the late Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China. This period of history, which includes the Opium Wars, the unequal treaties, and the invasion and occupation of Chinese territories by foreign powers, is a dark and painful chapter in Chinese history.The memory of the national humiliation serves as a constant reminder of the importance of a strong and prosperous China. It motivates me to work hard and contribute to the country's development. I am proud to see China's rise in recent years, as it has become a major player in the global economy and has made significant advancements in various fields such as technology, science,and culture.One example of China's rise is its space program. China has achieved significant milestones in space exploration, including landing a rover on the far side of the moon and launching its own space station. These accomplishments demonstrate China's capabilities and technological advancements, and they fill me with a sense of pride and hope for the future.I believe that China's rise is not only beneficial for the country itself, but also for the world. As a majorglobal power, China has the potential to contribute toglobal peace, development, and cooperation. By remembering the national humiliation and striving for China's rise, I am also contributing to a better world for future generations.中文:我永远不会忘记国耻,我决心见证中国的崛起。
国务院新闻办公室文件:中国的核应急(双语2)I.Current Situation of Nuclear EnergyDevelopment and Nuclear EmergencyPreparedness一、核能发展与核应急基本形势It was in the mid-1950s that China embarked on itsnuclear industry. Over the past more than sixdecades China has made constant endeavors in thepeaceful use of nuclear energy by promoting theextensive application of nuclear technologies tosuch areas as industry, agriculture, medicine, theenvironment and energy. In particular, since theintroduction of the reform and opening-up policies in late 1978 China’s nuclear energy sectorhas seen particularly rapid development.20世纪50年代中期,中国创建核工业。
60多年来,中国致力于和平利用核能事业,发展推动核技术在工业、农业、医学、环境、能源等领域广泛应用。
特别是改革开放以来,中国核能事业得到更大发展。
The development of nuclear power constitutes an important component of China’s nuclearenergy sector. Nuclear power is a clean, efficient and quality modern energy source. Chinahas consistently adhered to the principle of placing equal emphasis on development andsafety, and implemented the policy of developing nuclear power in a safe and efficient mannerby adopting the most advanced technology and most stringent standards. In March 1985construction started on the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station, the first of its kind in the mainlandof China. As of the end of October 2020, in the mainland of China 27 nuclear generating unitshad been inoperation, with a total installed capacity of 25.50 GWe, and another 25 nucleargenerating units with a total installed capacity of 27.51 GWe had been under construction.China has already developed its large-sized advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) andHigh Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) technologies with proprietary intellectualproperty rights. Constructionof the HPR1000 technology pilot project has already commenced.The China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) has achieved full power operation over 72 hours,signifying that China has already mastered the core technology associated with fast reactors.发展核电是中国核能事业的重要组成部分。
中国应进一步发展核能,因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%,该比例在所有核国家中居第30位,几乎是最低的。
2011年3月日本核电站事故后,中国的核能开发停了下来,中止审批新的核电站,并开展全国性的核安全检查。
到2012年10月,审批才能又谨慎的恢复。
随着技术和安全措施的改进,发生核事故的可能性完全可以降低到最低限度。
换句话说核能是可以安全开发和利用的。
China should further develop nuclear energy because nuclear power accounts for only 2% of its total generating capacity currently. Such proportion ranks the thirtieth in all the countries possessing nuclear power, which is almost the last.After Japan’s nuclear power accident in March 2011, nuclear power development in China was suspended, so was the approval of new nuclear power plants. Also, the national safety check for the nuclear power was carried out. IT was not until October 2012 that the approval was prudently resumed.With the improvement of technology and safety measures, there is little possibility for nuclear accidents to happen. In other words, there won’t be any trouble to develop and exploit the nuclear power.以上就是2014.6四级翻译答案:发展核能的全部内容,希望对大家有所帮助。
勇往直前的中国革命精神主题的英语手抄报全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Dauntless Spirit of China's Revolutionary StruggleThe history of modern China has been forged through decades of unflinching struggle, sacrifice, and an unwavering revolutionary spirit. As a student passionate about my nation's past, I am awed by the courage and tenacity displayed by the great pioneers who fought to overthrow the shackles of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism. Their dauntless spirit in the face of daunting challenges was the driving force behind China's revolutionary transformation.From the pivotal Xinhai Revolution of 1911 that toppled the decadent Qing Dynasty to the triumphs of the Communist revolution led by Mao Zedong, the story of modern China is etched in the blood and sweat of countless martyrs. The revolutionaries of that era possessed an ideological clarity and steadfast conviction that no amount of oppression could extinguish. Figures like Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai embodiedthis indomitable spirit, inspiring the downtrodden masses to rise and claim their destiny.One cannot understand China's revolutionary spirit without examining the crippling impacts of semi-feudal, semi-colonial subjugation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A once proud and prosperous civilization had been carved up by imperialist vultures, with vast swaths of its territory carved into concessions subjugated to foreign powers. The "Century of Humiliation" bred an intense nationalist fervor and a burning desire to regain sovereignty and dignity.It was against this backdrop that the clarion calls of visionary revolutionaries like Dr. Sun resonated so powerfully. His tireless efforts to unite the disparate revolutionary groups under the banner of the Tongmenghui laid the foundations for the Xinhai Revolution's eventual triumph in 1911. Despite numerous failed uprisings and exile, his Three Principles of the People –nationalism, democracy, and people's livelihood – struck a chord that could not be silenced.While the overthrow of the Qing inaugurated a new republican era, the nation remained fractured by warlordism and imperialist exploitation. It was the May 4th Movement of 1919, ignited by outrage over the Versailles Treaty's dismembering ofChinese sovereignty, that catalyzed a transformative social awakening. Birthing the intellectual renaissance of the New Culture Movement, it rekindled the revolutionary flames across Chinese society.From the crucible of these struggles emerged the vanguard that would go on to fulfill the Chinese people's centuries-old dream of national liberation and renaissance. Under Mao's leadership, the Communist Party of China became the standard-bearer of this indomitable revolutionary spirit, waging a protracted people's war that ultimately toppled the crumbling edifice of Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary forces.The Long March of 1934-35 was the ultimate embodiment of the revolutionaries' fortitude. Traversing over 9,000 kilometers across treacherous terrain while beset by Nationalist assaults, it was a harrowing trial that would have broken lesser mortal souls. Yet Mao and his comrades emerged from the scorching crucible steeled with an iron revolutionary will that could never be extinguished. Their victory at Zunyi consolidated Mao's preeminence and set the course for the Communist Revolution's eventual nationwide triumph.On October 1st, 1949, Mao stood triumphantly atop Tiananmen, proclaiming the founding of the People's Republic ofChina. It was the culmination of decades of bloodshed, sacrifice, and an indefatigable commitment to emancipating China from the twin demons of foreign oppression and feudal stagnation. The revolutionary spirit that had set the nation ablaze could never be quelled, fueling the next phase of socialist construction and modernization.Even today, that same intrepid spirit pulses through the veins of China's younger generations as we forge ahead towards the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." We must never forget the trials endured by our revolutionary forebears who paid with their very lives to secure our liberation. Their bravery in storming the seemingly insurmountable bastions of reaction is a constant inspiration, reminding us that no obstacle is too formidable for a united people armed with conviction and perseverance.As an avid student of history, I find profound lessons in the indomitable feats of China's revolutionaries that transcend temporal and geographic boundaries. Their struggle was not just to overthrow a repressive domestic order, but to reclaim China's dignity on the world stage as a proud and independent nation. In this era of intensifying great power rivalries, their spirit of defiantself-strengthening and self-reliance resonates more powerfully than ever.The revolutionary spirit that propelled China's earth-shaking transformations of the 20th century must be kept burning brightly as new challenges emerge in this modern era. Just as our forebears defeated imperialism and feudalism, we must remain steadfast in defending our national sovereignty from any encroachments or threats. And just as they constructed socialism from the ashes of the semi-feudal old order, we must boldly blaze new frontiers in realizing the "Chinese Dream" of national rejuvenation.Whether in developing cutting-edge technologies, asserting our territorial integrity, or raising hundreds of millions from poverty through reform and opening up, the pioneering audacity of China's revolutionaries must be our lodestar. We can never grow complacent and succumb to stagnation; rather, we must constantly renew ourselves with the same youthful vigor that characterized the fiery struggles of yesteryear.The revolutionary journey is an endless continuity, with each generation shouldering the weighty responsibility of carrying the torch forward. As the heirs to that proud legacy bequeathed by Communist heroes and martyrs, we have a solemn duty to honortheir sacrifice by striving ceaselessly to build a prosperous, powerful, and respected socialist China. Only by internalizing their courageous spirit and emulating their willingness to make any sacrifice can we ensure the "great rejuvenation" they envisioned is realized.So let the indomitable spirit of China's revolutionary pioneers be the inspirational headspring from which we derive our strength and fortitude. In this modern age of complex challenges and opportunities, their shining example will forever remain our lodestar, illuminating the path towards even greater prosperity and empowerment for our great motherland. Just as they vanquished every obstacle through sheer revolutionary resolve, so too can we overcome any adversity through perseverance and a burning patriotism stoked by their immortal sacrifices.篇2The Undaunted Revolutionary Spirit of ChinaAs a student, I have been taught from a young age about the struggles and sacrifices of the Chinese people in overthrowing the shackles of imperialism and feudalism. The revolutionary spirit that burned bright during those tumultuous years is aguiding light that still illuminates our path forward as a nation today.To understand the depth of this revolutionary zeal, one must look back to the early 20th century when China was mired in poverty, exploitation, and humiliation at the hands of foreign powers and a decadent dynastic system. The people cried out for change, for national rejuvenation and an end to centuries of oppression.It was in this climate that pioneers like Dr. Sun Yat-sen sparked the flames of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, toppling the Qing dynasty after over 2000 years of imperial rule. Though this first republican experiment was short-lived, it laid the seeds for the larger revolutionary movement to come. The indomitable spirit of the revolutionaries shone through, unwavering in their pursuit of true national independence and people's liberation.This spirit carried through to the May 4th Movement of 1919, when outrage over the Treaty of Versailles injustices ignited a cultural awakening across China. Students like me took to the streets, rallying against imperialism and feudalism with chants of "Sweep away the old world!" We rejected the shackles of tradition that had bound China and embraced aforward-thinking doctrine of "Mr. Democracy and Mr. Science."It was the Communist Party of China, founded just two years later in 1921, that would go on to lead the most earth-shattering revolutionary movement in our nation's history. Under the leadership of great proletarian revolutionaries like Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, a protracted people's war was waged against oppressive forces.Despite overwhelming odds and unimaginable hardship, the Communist revolutionaries remained steadfast in their conviction. They lived by the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance, fearlessness in the face of brute force, and devotion to the emancipation of the downtrodden masses. From the Nanchang Uprising of 1927 to the grueling Long March, the Communists' zeal for national and social liberation could not be extinguished.The crowning achievement came in 1949 when, after nearly three decades of arduous struggle, the People's Republic of China was finally established upon the ashes of the oldsemi-feudal, semi-colonial society. For the first time, thelong-subjugated Chinese people stood upright as true masters of their homeland. Chairman Mao Zedong declared to the world, "The Chinese people have stood up!"In the years since, that revolutionary spirit has continued to drive China's rejuvenation on the path of socialism. From themonumental achievements of economic reform and opening up, to China's rising as a mighty world power, our每一个进步都植根于那same英勇的革命精神。
Nuclear power in China
Make haste slowly
China’s rush to build nuclear power plants is dangerous
Dec 6th 2014 | From the print edition
COAL kills, especially in China. Up to half a million people die prematurely each year as a result of the country’s infamously foul air. Coal, from which China gets roughly four-fifths of its electricity, is the main contributor to that deadly pollution. And since the country’s power-generation may need to double by 2030 to keep pace with economic growth and more affluent lifestyles, the damage from coal will get worse before it gets better. Given that grim picture, it is understandable that the government wants to diversify its energy sources.
Nuclear power is central to this ambition. Even as doubts about it grow in the rest of the world, China has made its expansion a priority. With over two dozen reactors under construction, it wants to more than triple nuclear capacity by 2020. On December 10th China General Nuclear Power (CGN), the country’s biggest builder and operator of nuclear plants, plans to float shares on the Hong Kong stock exchange (see article). Since the government has no need for outside investors to fund its nuclear ambitions, CGN’s partial flotation is a statement of the industry’s political profile.
For most countries nuclear power is a poor option. Big reactors invariably cost more and take longer to build than predicted. As alternative sources of energy have proliferated, the economics of nuclear energy have worsened. The other worry is safety. Just as the memory of the Fukushima disaster in Japan was starting to fade, Europe’s biggest nucl ear reactor, in Ukraine, was shut down this week. Such worries increase the risk of politicians cancelling projects, which also raises the costs.
China, however, faces none of these constraints. The government is willing to pay for countless loss-making infrastructure projects, most of its citizens worry more about air pollution than nuclear safety and there is no political opposition waiting to sweep to power and mothball the reactors. Nonetheless, the headlong rush to nuclear power is more dangerous and less necessary than China’s government admits.
One of the main lessons of Fukushima was that politicised, opaque regulation is dangerous. China’s rule-setting apparatus is also unaccountable and murky, and ambitious targets for a risky technology should ring warning bells. Earlier this year, a French nuclear-safety regulator, familiar
with the Chinese situation, declared his counterparts to be “overwhelmed”. The regime has form in neglecting safety in the pursuit of techno-hubris: pressure to have the world’s fastest trains lay behind the regulatory failures that caused a catastrophic train crash near Wenzhou in 2011. Beware bureaucrats setting bold targets
China’s approach to building capacity has added to the risk of an accident. Rather than picking a single proven design for new reactors from an experienced vendor and replicating it widely, the government has decided to “indigenise” Western designs. The advantage of this approach is that China can then patent its innovations and make money out of selling them to the world; the downside is that there are now several competing designs promoted by rival state-owned enterprises, none of which is well tested.
China should slow its nuclear ambitions to a pace its regulators can keep up with, and build its reactors using the best existing technology—which happens to be Western. That need not condemn it to more sooty, coal-fired years. The cost of renewable energy is dropping quickly and its efficiency is rising sharply. Last year, over half of all new power-generation capacity installed in China was hydro, wind or solar. If China wants to accelerate its move away from coal, ramping up those alternatives yet more would be a lot safer.。
