China need to construct as many as 100 new nuclear reactors over the next decade as it bids to bring nuclear power share of its total generating capacity to around 6 per cent by 2030, an industry chief told state media on Wednesday. He Yu, the chairman of the China General Nuclear Power Corporation, said the China low-carbon roadmap leading up to 2030 would need as much as 150 to 200 gigawatts of installed nuclear capacity, up from around 20 GW at the end of last year.
