‘Shelved nuclear tech revived in safe power drive’ | SCMP

Let’s see how this goes. New-tech nuclear — Newclear! — the first operational 4G reactor in the world, is to open at Shidaowan in China’s northeast Shandong province. Apart from Warren Buffet & Bill Gates with their TerraPower reactor in Wyoming, China is the only one doing nuclear energy R&D on a serious scale. Shidaowan at 2GW is a monster. 

China has fifteen reactors under construction, more than the double the rest of the world combined and plan another 150 by 2035.These alone would make China’s electricity carbon neutral.

The story above explains itself: a new and safer “fourth generation” nuclear technology about to start ops in Shandong. Cross fingers. We need large-scale safe nuclear for the world to have any hope of keeping global carbon emissions down.
